(I've sent a email in the message board on the site asking too, but 
there's no link to ask the webmaster him/herself, kind of odd ... )

I noticed that on Bravenet (www.bravenet.com, a webmaster 
resource site (a bit too full of spam and "free" offers for my liking, 
but there's some good stuff in there)) that they offer free MIDI files.  
Taking one for example ("I'm Not in Love" by 10CC - not saying I'm 
a huge fan of that song or band, but was randomly chosen for 
demonstration purposes only :) ) the page where the MIDI file is < 
embed > ed is at 
http://resources.bravenet.com/audio_clips/classic_hard_rock/10cc_
-_im_not_in_love/listen/ , clicking on the "Download this Audio 
Clip" doesn't open the file in another window, like what usually 
happens (since "usually" involves the code < a 
href="midifile.mid>Click here to download< /a>) but instead leads 
to a link 
http://resources.bravenet.com/audio_clips/classic_hard_rock/10cc_
-_im_not_in_love/download/ .  This gives you the option to save 
the MIDI file right to your computer!  (This is what I've been looking 
for for some time, if people recall a post from me last year).  
However, looking at the code of the second page just gives blank 
code!  

How did they make it so that when you click to download it gives 
yout he option to save to your comptuer, rather than opening the 
file in another window?
