In an earlier post I told of my inability to download Audacity when operating behind a ZONE ALARM firewall.
I solved the problem that I had and managed to download the program.
The solution was a small mis-configuration of my privacy settings that, in essence, sometimes prevented me from downloading MIME-type objects. Perhaps this solution may apply to others who have problems downloading when operating behind a firewall.
Regardless, for those who may be interested, here is a link to a discussion of this problem: Link To Discussion (http://forum.zonelabs.org/zonelabs/board/message?board.id=AllowAccess&message.id=61#M61)
Good heavens! You've solved the case, Sherlock! Thanks for giving us the key if we run into a similar cranky firewall. Now that you have Audacity, what do you think of it?
