Amen to that Mr Harvey! :-)

Like live in the nothing plays with anything else without finding 1/2 dozen other things....no thinks. I'm a big fan of plug and play :)
Yeah, windows really sucks like that, doesn't it.

Trying to run a .gz = LOL :-) good effort.

I had problems with github just now too. The download button wasn't doing anything. This was in IE (yes Im not a linux user either *shock* *horror*).

Changed to firefox and everything worked fine.

So to any windows users, try it in firefox and that should fix your problem.

The download link is known to be fussy. It fails at random it seems. If you'd kept trying it I believe it would work in IE. You just got lucky with FF the first time you clicked it.

As far as I can tell, what it is is that the given set of data you are trying to get is not static, ie, aaron keeps committing against it. The "download" is dynamically generated and cached. The first time you(someone) click it after each commit it has to generate the file = slow. The second time (regardless of browser) it's there generated waiting and just comes down.

The moral of the story = use git to clone it and do regular pulls :-) faster and better in every way.
