Actually, it IS downloading the movie, just suggesting the wrong
filename.

It should be possible to adjust the jump.cgi so that instead of:
http://www.lugnet.com/jump.cgi?http://www.bluerocketwriting.com/roboCam.mov
it would be:
http://www.lugnet.com/jump/http://www.bluerocketwriting.com/roboCam.mov
Which would allow FF to save it as the correct name, while still
allowing lugnet to track the outgoing link. Maybe we could even
implement it as an apache redirect so that the .cgi wouldn't even need
to be spawned.
We shall see.
