greetings all

the subject line is as best as i can do on this one .. sorry

i found a file i wanted on a site (oxford university, oxford
uk) i clicked on it to download it and was greeted by a message
that told me to expect mail concerning the download ..

finally it arrived so i cut the relevertn line to x11 cut/paste
buffer and cliucked on teh 'go' icon and almost instantly i get
back no match  ...

sorta like this ...

opera http://ota.oucs.ox.ac.uk/scripts/download.php?approval=682571798f412a23de94
opera: No match

this happens irrespective what browser i try this with
links /lynx /opera /firefox /epiphany /chimera et al

if i try the forst part alone, just teh domain name i get the
usual expected connection, just when i try to connect tot eh
sites search engine i guess you'd call it that i get this
'failure'. i'd checked teh cut/paste bit and as best as i can see
(worse than usual drops in eye for significant eye test at
hospital today .. i have two eyes and tehy work sid teh
specialist .. grin) 

is this how it is supposed to be done ??
