I removed the link.  But the question is: what does
http://www.lulu.com/content/190827 really contain?

I guess the code in question is the following:

<form action="mirrors">
<a href="http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/public/book2.pdf"; class="hover-red">
<input type="button" name="Continue" value="Continue Download (USA)" 
class="hover-red"
onclick='window.location.href ="<a 
href="http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/public/book2.pdf";>http://axiom-wiki.newsynthesis.org/public/book2.pdf</a>";'
 /></a>
<a href="http://axiom.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/public/book2.pdf"; class="hover-red">
<input type="button" name="Continue" value="Continue Download (Europe)" 
class="hover-blue"
onclick='window.location.href ="<a 
href="http://axiom.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/public/book2.pdf";>http://axiom.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/public/book2.pdf</a>";'
 /></a>
<a href="/public/donate.html" class="hover-red">
<input type="button" name="Donate" value="Donate Funds" class="hover-red"
onclick='window.location.href ="/public/book2.pdf";'/></a>
</form>

Interestingly, when I click "Donate", download begins immediately (even in
Konqueror).
