Sigh... Apparently direct download is no longer possible
at Tripod... They really want their ad page displayed
properly:
* Turn on your browser's cookies
* Access the first interstitial page to get the right
cookie (this is your download "ticket"):
http://members.tripod.com/~freezack/editgrp.exe
After that, any variations of the "?1" URLs below will
give you the actual file:
http://members.tripod.com/~freezack/editgrp.exe?1
http://members.tripod.com/~freezack/editgrp.exe?1?1
http://members.tripod.com/~freezack/editgrp.exe?1?1?1
(and so on)
This method works across diferrent online sessions. You
always get the actual file, as long as the cookie not
deleted or expired.
Alternatively:
* Turn on your browser's HTTP referer
* Download the first interstitial page and view it:
http://members.tripod.com/~freezack/editgrp.exe
* Click/select the download link
The second way only work without cookies if both the
interstitial page and the actual file are pulled within
the same online session (same IP address).
IMHO, Nettamer should be able to download the actual
file *if* the interstitial page is parsed and displayed
(as explicitly suggested by the MIME type), instead of
saved to file (as implied by the URL's file extension).
