Either a dupe of bug 64488 or a tech evang bug.

Reporter, the website is at fault. The link you are trying to download is
- http://www.supportusb.com/drivers\Win98TechSolutions.zip

You can't use '\' chars in such URLS. They have to be '/'s

The link, http://www.supportusb.com/drivers/Win98TechSolutions.zip works
