sorry for not providing a correct bug report with steps to repro.
1.go to freedos.org
2.click "download freedos" at top of page
3.click "download freedos" at top of page
4.from a cmd shell prompt, do curl http://www.freedos.org/download/
actual: the button is boilerplate page link and is not an actual download
button like it appears to be. you can click all day on that "download" button
and it appears dead after 2nd try because it is going to the page it is on in
step 2. it looks like from the source <a href="/download/">Download
FreeDOS</a>, it simply jumps you to /download/. it should not be in appearance
a download button because that's not what it really is.
expected:
- the Download FreeDOS button should be instead a Downdoads tab up at the top
navigation. if you want to make it a fancy link, make it a Downloads tab up
top, as in <li><a href="/downloads/">Downloads</a></li> in <div id="links">
- add to the /download/ page a link to the sourceforge project page
http://sourceforge.net/projects/freedos/files/ and call it "SourceForge.net
FreeDOS Project files". doesn't have to be a download button, because it's not.
the files are in different dirs there.
- a link to a 1.1 floppy .img file <a href="/download/floppy1_1.img"
type="application/octet-stream">FreeDOS 1.1 floppy image</a> (a hope of mine).
users don't necessarily want to download the whole iso. if I could download it
from base in FTP, that would be fine, but I can't.
type="application/octet-stream" ensures it gets downloaded as a binary file and
not as text.
