How to Download Qnap NAS package from website

[JohnPx]

I am trying to download the QNAP R4.5 from the Illustrate web page to my Windows PC so I can then install on my NAS. When I click on the "Install Release R4.5" item I get a pages full of code displaying.

What am I doing wrong?

Your web browser must be set wrong, it should offer to save the file not display it, try a different browser.

I do downloads from the web often without issue with current browser. I clicked on the Asset "Install Release 5" for Windows version hyperlink on the same page (http://www.dbpoweramp.com/asset-upnp-dlna.htm) as the QNAP item and it displays the prompt which asks if I want to download a file as normal.

Have you tried the link yourself?

The download link is served through an ASP.NET action, this action puts a HTTP header in:

Content-disposition: attachment; filename=[somefilename]
Content Type: application/octet-stream

Everyone uses it and it works all the time, unless the web browser is configured wrong. See:

I have tried downloading it with the Chrome browser rather than my normal IE and has worked ok.

Thanks for you assistance.
