Problem downloading Gallery themes

When I attempt to download a theme from the gallery, it downloads a file called leach.html., some anti-leaching message. What is this about? Why can't I download the file?

Thanks.

Do you mean the gallery here on NC or at another location?

Ok, checked with Zhen, apparently it is an anti-hotlinking program. If you try downloading directly from the gallery it works. If you try downloading it from another site, you get the file you mentioned.

no it does not, I tried downloading a theme right from the Gallery and it goes to the leaching page

Interesting. I use "Get Right" as a download utility program that allows for multiple ftp connections - its really slick. I know there are several more out there, so maybe this is your issue. I tried dloading cobalt from the gallery with Get right. I got leech.htm. BUT when I turned Get Right off, and used the straight Windows XP download, it worked fine.

Are you running any kind of Download Manager?

All downlaods are protected by Anti Leeching software.
The only reasons you would get the Anti_Leech page when attempting to download a file from anywhere on Nukcops is if you are not here at Nukecops downloading the file.
The only other reasons the downlaod may not work is you are using a third party download accelerator software or other program to d/l the File.
Also, any Firewall may cause the program to think you are a leecher as well. Disable any Firewall program before attempting to d/l the file(s)
Last resort.
Try clearing all your temp.internet files and cookies. Re-loggin to the site and try the d/l again.
