I gave up before I read about RT.SYNTH. I was pretty tired. I downloaded RT.SYNTH today using the iCab browser (Mac), which has an excellent download manager. I couldn't download the mp3s no matter what I did.Curious, I haven't had any trouble with them on several different computers, including Macs...I too had [weird] problems downloading from your page... Safari on MacOSX insisted on downloading the .SDK file as html and even renaming it to .html in the finder. Never had that happen before... FWIW I had no problems downloading to my IIgs via my Chebucto Community Net (plug) shell account, which just goes to show that the Apple II is still the superior machine! -s
I tried Mozilla, Safari, and iCab on my eMac, and only iCab worked for downoading. I especially wanted to hear the mp3s, and neither Mozilla nor Safari could get them. I refuse to put Explorer on my Mac. I finally did get the mp3s by using the iGetter downloader, which is integrated into iCab. They are VERY impressive. The Apple II really is a serious music machine!
iCab is definitely the best download browser for Macs (major plug). It has its own excellent downloader, and also has iGetter integrated into it. It doesn't take over and translate files on you. I had a helluva time getting downloaded programs for my TRS-80 Model 100 to work. Come to find out that Navigator was automatically translating the line breaks from DOS into Mac format, which wouldn't run on my old computer. iCab doesn't do that.
But the very best way to download is on an Apple II via Chebucto.
