firefox seems to fail to deal with microsoft's page.  Konqueror worked
perfectly fine for it though.  I didn't get to opera since konqueror did the job.

It did not involve any download manager, it simply provided a url to
the iso (well at least it did when I checked the source of the page with
the download button).  Firfox refused to even get as far as that page
though.
