Reading the HTML first to see if it's dodgy before nicking
it would be a good start ;)

If they click on the text link they won't find it. You've got
downloads.htl still ;) Instead of downloads.htm. (Why not
combine the 2 and have downloads.html. Don't get me
started on .htm ;)
Once you get the download page, the lha archive is there,
but not the zip version. So you've only got a 25% chance
of anyone successfully downloading it first time ;)

I tend to find that with Macs, just looking at them can
cause problems. It's possible (likely?) that the problem
is with using PNG. Try converting them into 200 meg
PDF files instead, that always seems to keep Mac
users happy ;)
