I'm going to give you a simple demonstration.....

the first url will load a page, and nothing more. You would have to
click the "download here" button to get BugHunter.

http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk

this url will cause your computer to ask (if you have it selected) or
just download my bughunter. No "click here to download".

http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk/BUGHUN22.ZIP


This happens to be a .ZIP file, but it could be an exe/pdf/doc/mp3,
whatever I want. It's a direct link; so your computer isn't going to
request you to click more webpages to get it!

Do you understand whats going on with the ms link now, BD?
