My best guess is that Alexander Street is transitioning from the last set of freebies to the next one. They have their new webpage up, that you referenced, but things have not been updated yet at the openmusiclibrary.org site, where the download button on the webpage directs you.

The openmusiclibrary.org website's content doesn't change unless Alexander Street sends them a request to add the links to the freebies (blue links in aquablue box). Then, after the two weeks is over, openmusiclibrary.org either takes it upon itself to take the links down, or Alexander Street makes the request to them.

Still working on it . . . .

In fact, the temporary URL by Alexander Street to the openmusiclibrary.org webpage (the one with the links to the free tracks) has already changed. The standard (non-promotion) URL for all of the artists that have been featured is much shorter. The standard webpage for Gabriel Faure is http://openmusiclibrary.org/person/26334. Unless I've missed my guess, the webpage with that long URL, http://openmusiclibrary.org/person/2...email#corpsite, that the blue download button directs you to and that you referenced, will have links to the free tracks within a short time, where as the standard URL, http://openmusiclibrary.org/person/26334 will not have those links.

Still working on it . . . .

Another clue that leads me to believe that the temporary long URL will give us the links is "Download_11-14-2016" is embedded in it.

That appears to me to be what's going on. So, my recommendation is to sit tight, and later tonight check the temporary long URL again. If there's not a change, and I was a bettin' man (which I'm not), I'd say that it will change by tomorrow (Tuesday). If not, we've still got 13 days left in the promotion for things to get straightened out by AlexanderStreet/OpenMusicLibrary or for me to figure out where I've gone wrong in my thinking.
