Just for the record, Jonathan Hughes and Don Elbourne were the ones who
did all the work on the site.  I'm not leaving anyone out am I?  All I
did was write a little script to convert SSIs to JSPs.  But I'll agree
that it does look great.

I'm not really sure how we would implement this.  Two thoughts that come
to mind are automatically redirecting the user back to the referer after
the file starts to d/l or making the new page be directed to a new
window, and possibly close it after d/l starts.

I agree with you that it's a bit inefficient the way it functions
currently.  There's a school of web design that says the user should
never have to click back.

That would result in some very large downloads for many languages that
people would have difficulty downloading.
