Did you right-click and select the "save link as"? Not to belabor the
point, but when I have the cursor over the underlined filename, i.e.
"gimp-help-2.4-en.pdf" and right-click in that spot, a menu opens to
select the spot for saving, and then the download commences.
If I CLICK that link, it does double-back.
Good luck. I found two different ways to get there, one from source code
and one from the right-click trick. Maybe someone else has yet another
trick up a sleeve.
Thanks for the Ubuntu encouragement.
