Problems downloading from LotusFlow3r site?

EDIT: OK, MAC USERS. What worked for me was logging back in using the Safari browser. Click the ticket on the opening page, and instead of paying again (duh), click the "already a member" link. When you navigate back to the download link, just click once, and it should start downloading a generically named zip file, which will automatically turn into folder with the album title when it completes.

Ok, so I'm in. I registered, picked a username, navigated the worlds. First thing I want to do is download the albums. In each world I try to visit, I see the links to download mp3s or WAVs (YES!).

BUT...

When I click on either link, another tab opens up in Firefox, and it says "invalid origin."

Great.

I presume this is being taken care of somewhere. (Prince's people looking in on the org?) But I unblocked pop-up windows, and that didn't change anything.

Also--I haven't seen any tech support info on the site. Sooo.... Here goes nothing.

Anyone else encounter this problem? Let's pool information so that others who sign up have a clean-as-possible process.

Teething problems.....rolleyes

Someone needed to do some proper User Acceptance Testing.

i had the same problem, switched from firefox to explorer, but the download ended up being a php file, which is text, i believe, and it wont open.

When I try to download an album in Firefox, I get a big download but it has the wrong filename (download_gp.php). My guess is that I can rename the file to something.zip and the music will be in there. See how it goes.

Okay, the download seems to be working in Safari, for you other Mac users out there...

YOU ARE CORRECT! DELETE THE .php and replace it with .zip and it works. I can see the mp3s.

I have Firefox and it's not letting download the albums. It actually kicked me out of the site once. There is a problem and they need to get it fixed.

The site is extremely finicky towards browsers.
Internet Explorer - forget it
Firefox - no downloads
Safari - best choice

It took me a good 15 minutes of fucking around before I realized that IE was useless
And success (partial or full) required a Flash update.
