Oh, that explains the squiggle, at least--what the heck do you call that symbol?

No, I'm definitely just left-clicking, it claims it's an mp3 link when I hover over it, but I keep getting those recursive files as a download. I do note that the file is 3.6 MB, what one would expect--

--HEY! You know what I just did? I renamed the file from "fs07n4.sendspace.com" to "Linus and Lucy.mp3" and, whaddya know, that's all it took! Yay!! *snoopydances, appropriately*
