nobody? is it supposed to be like that? it's not like people can't just click the right mouse button and click on "save link as" but fire fox says "the file is corrupted" on .m4a files when you click on the link. of course, people are going to ignore it. but some of them don't know better and don't know that the browser cannot say if a file is corrupted or not, without taking the file into cache and performing some kind of a scan.

thank you.
