(trailer) Tech help for the idiot, please

I'm frustrated. Yesterday, I downloaded Windows Media Player, since what
I saw of the trailer off the WB site using RealPlayer was choppy.
Download and installation went fine but it was real late so I went to
bed.

Today, when I try to download the MediaPlayer version off the
countingdown site, my browser screen fills with gibberish. (I use
Netscape.) I let it finish, and saved the gibberish as a file in the
correct format for MediaPlayer, but the player says the file is corrupt
or damaged.

So I tried to play the MediaPlayer version off the WB site, and I get
the audio, but no video (in their little window). I tried to paste the
URL for the WB MediaPlayer version into my player's selector, and it
didn't work.

I can't find the trailers anywhere on DarkHorizons today.

Somebody tell me why nothing I touch is working today. This is getting
massively frustrating. I know I'm not the most technologically capable,
but sometimes it seems like the computer and the little sprites who run
the websites are having a bit of conspiratorial fun at my expense.
