    <pre> As a thousand people have probably told you the problem is with the space in the file name (represented by the %20 in the URL). It's very poor practice, if not strictly illegal, to put spaces in URL's like that and is not handled uniformly by all browsers (as you've found). The easy solution is to replace the space with an underscore in the file name which is not only the standard solution to the problem but also adds a bit of internal consistency to the name which is already using underscores.
