I've been experiencing annoying problems when downloading foobar2000, whether the stable or the beta version.

I click on the link for download, and sometimes, instead of downloading, it just shunts me back to www.foobar2000.org page. If I'm about to download the beta version, I have to go back and click again. Sometimes it takes 2-3 attempts before download actually start.

And, the download link refuses to work at all with GetRight.

What's wrong here, I don't know.

Server hiccup? The same happened to me with the changelog url.

What's really a PITA is that foobar2000.org seems to hate GetRight.

Never ever been able to start downloading using GetRight.

It's the hotlinking protection. The server wont let you download the files without sending a valid referrer, and it always works for me with firefox. I can't see any need to use a download manager for a ~2mb file anyway.
