What is WRONG with publishers, that they can't just have a direct link to the files they want people to download, instead of burying them in weird script functions on the page? And why not just name them by title & author?

(Erm. Nothing against you, Anggun. Thank you for the link. I'm just frustrated at all the bells-and-whistles coding that gets in the way of the functions of the page.)
Well, this name is a unique one, as it is the ISBN. Not user friendly nonetheless !
Sometime it's noted TheTitle_ISBN.prc. It's a little better...
