Assuming you mean GetRight (the download manager),
a 403 means that the referring page isn't what those guys require.

linking.)
A download manager doesn't give a referring page, so you're stuck.

Find a neighbor/friend with a fast connection and a CD burner.


Someone was *VERY* kind and sent me the file broken into 500K UUE files.
After stripping off the (variable length) e-mail headers and the 4 blank lines at the end, and *then* combining to a large (21,364150 bytes) file, i was able to decode to a decent EXE (untried so far).



That seems rather large.


I misconstrued what you said. The final file size should be 15,260,160.

Sylvia.

I calculate that is about the 14,903Kb i have.
BUT.
Since the file i have crashes (see previous message), would you be kind enough to e-mail the EXE zipped up?
Yes, i know, it is already a ZIP file in self-extracting form.


OK. Should be on its way soon, provided the upload of the email doesn't fail. I'm going to bed (nearly 1am here), so I'll check it tomorrow.

Sylvia.
Thanks; so fr i have not seen it - but i am not russian (not in a rush).

At my end it looks as if it's gone through. Possibly your mail service provider has junked it as being too big.

If it doesn't show, I could split the file into bite sized pieces and make them available to you to download separately.
