Tried all kinds of permutations of that link and never got anywhere..


Some browsers don't recognize spaces in URLs or file names. And they
shouldn't have to, blank spaces don't belong there. Impossible to tell if a
link ends when a space is encountered, or continues. The clickable part of
the link above ends after "/heli" in my newsreader, so I copied the whole
line and pasted it to the browser. Worked fine then with Mozilla, and a
5884KB video started to download. That still wouldn't work with an older
Netscape browser though, due to the spaces.

A workaround is to replace each space with "%20"
