Thanks Anders. Your report of strange behavior is still difficult for others to try to reproduce. I'm not trying to be pedantic here, but when you report something like this you want to give as much information as possible. For example, "Click on the LyX suitable for your need" is different for you (Windows?) than for me (Linux). So we would be clicking on different links! To see if I can reproduce the problem, we want to click on the same link, using the same OS (if possible) using the same browser (if possible). Otherwise you will get a lot of responses of "works for me" because we are using different applications to do it. That will not help you. Well, actually it will if you're able to change OS or change browsers, etc., but it won't help us figure out if it's a problem on our side or your side. Which link are you clicking on? With which browser? With which OS? Have you tried using a different browser? If so, which one? Have you tried using a different computer? Did it work there? Thanks for the report. If users can't download the installation file for LyX, that's definitely a problem and hopefully we can get to the root cause of it. Best, Scott
