I’m not sure what’s going on there. If you press Enter on the link, it should say “downloading book”. Then, it will install the book. It may ask for administrator permission since it puts the book in the JAWS install directory under Training.
You can download training materials using your Web browser. Go to http://www2.freedomscientific.com/downloads/training/training-downloads.asp Hope this helps.

I even tried to copy the link addresses and download them manually and received a "not valid web page" error. Since we do not have access to a DVD either, how are we supposed to get said information?
