So if they did it on HDFS (a Hadoop thing) then what did they use?

Went through download for it. Just google for windows 7, its the top
link. The world still loves a free ride after all. I'm on the mac
(as mentioned earlier ;-) ), using firefox. There was a warning about
starting a Java Applet (sigh). I expect if you went there under Linux
you'd get the same.
Yeah, looking at the source, it first looks to see if it can use an
activex control for a download manager, and if it can't it sets up the
applet with the following Javascript.
var sObjHTML = "<applet " +

If I were on a plane right now I would be looking for gremlins on the
wing.
