I removed the entry from the hosts file, restarted "DNS
Client" and then went back to download it, and I'm afraid it still
doesn't resolve in the browser.
I've a D-Link router and a DSL modem. Not sure if the router
just passes the query on to my DSL connection or tries to resolve
it itself.
From the command line of a computer where I get a DNS error
for the download, it says:
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>dig @192.168.0.1

After performing that command, the download still won't work.
My browser reports:

According to Microsoft documentation, the DNS client waits 1
second, then retries and waits 2 seconds, then 4, then 8 ...

So I'm not sure where the problem is. Maybe Akamai knows of
this, if others have similar problems with their DNS magic?
