Norbert, I had exactly the same problem... it happened with mozila, opera, Ie and so on. Dunno why, don't ask, please
Anyway, I was able to dwnld the files on IE searching with Google "house of the rebel", and adding to the address \tools. it worked for me, at least...

I leave the explanation to more experienced people

Not experienced, but my guess would be the quotation marks in the links might be at fault.

example:

Code: Select all

<a href=dl.htm?file="books/wolga.zip">

This worked for me using Firefox.

Click on the link, and when you get the 404 Not Found message, go to the URL window and delete the two quotes and press Enter. Then the download will start.

Hello ,

the quotation marks " " are redundant in each case - that is the reason
why such an error message occurs

example
http://www.top-5000.nl/"books/super.zip" > wrong URL, not found appears
http://www.top-5000.nl/books/super.zip > right URL, download works

Best wishes,
Norbert
