In order to ensure this, the server is configured to allow the puzzles only if a cruciverb.com link is clicked. If you type in a filename directly into your browser, it will not work. You must be logged in and you must click a link either from the Today's Puzzles block on the homepage or from an archive page.

There may still be problems, though, and it likely has to do with software that is interfering with your web browser's ability to send "Referer" information. Please read the following:

"Some software firewalls, for instance the Norton Personal Firewall (which is also part of Norton Internet Security) or ZoneAlarm remove the referer from HTTP requests which will block any downloads on any site that does a referer check. Hence such options should always be turned off. In Norton you have to go to the Privacy Settings and disable browser privacy (which doesn't really protect your privacy anyway as your IP address will always be logged regardless of that setting), in ZoneAlarm you have to go to Privacy -> Cookie Control -> Custom and uncheck "remove private header information.

If you use a mozilla based browser (Mozilla, Firefox or Netscape Navigator), referer sending can also be deactivated (it is activated by default). To change that setting, browse to "about:config", then search for "network.http.sendRefererHeader". If the value is set to 1 or 2, referer sending is enabled, if it is set to 0, it is disabled. To enable it, double click on it, then change the value.

Software like AdSubstract also blocks the referer and makes downloads impossible. "

If you simply cannot get the puzzle by clicking a link, please go to the LAT archive and use the mailer tool that allows you to receive puzzles via email.
