Author Firefox not loading web pages that IE will load

Lately I have been having problems with FireFox not downloading
files that IE will download. At least 80% of the last few times I
have tried to download files I have gotten a message saying: "The
link could not be saved. . ."

When I try to download the same file with IE, I have no problem. I
am using FireFox 1.0.4 with Download Sort 2.5.0. I think the
problem started when I upgraded FireFox from 1.0 to 1.0.4.

The latest page that I have had a problem with is:

I have also had the same problem with these pages:

Spellchecker Editbox)

There were several others but I can not remember them right now. If
you know what the problem is and how I can solve it, please let me
know. Thank you in advance for all replies.

I have found several good doctors. I just have not been able
to figure out how to climb through my TV screen to go to them.

Works fine in moz 1.7.8. I would also try right clicking and selecting
"Save Link Target As..." and going from there.

A couple of user comments at the Download Sort website say it doesn't
work with FF 1.0.4.

Try downloading with the Download Sort extension disabled.
