You can't right click and save as, just click on the "Download Now" button and it will download automatically to where you browser puts downloaded files.

The problem is, I am assuming, that he has configured his browser to automatically play the track, giving him no chance to save it.

If you state what browser and what computer type (Mac, PC, ...) you have we might be able to help.

However it is clear to me I was trying to be too clever in wanting to record the number of downloads. I'll change this so it will work something like this:

  • a user clicks on the "download now" button
  • the server will increment the number of downloads in the database
  • a direct link will then replace the download button, then you can do your "save-as".

In the meantime, here is the direct link to the Ewa backing track.

It's now fixed. You now have more control about how to save the file. Hope this helps.
