    It could be your browser blocking it.

    If your using I.E their should be a pop-up at the top on the window which you can right-click and select "allow download"

    If you cant get access to the site it maybe because you need flash or your flash is not working correctly. download and install from here,

    Remove any previous flash version via add/remove programs in control panel before you install.

    then try the link again. Both work on my PC.
