12 Days of Christmas - Day 1 broken?

I have my email from the Twelve Days of Christmas campaign, but the download link just sends me to the 12 Days of Christmas homepage. The link I have is here:

http://iTunes.chtah.com/a/hBLNVkNB70W8vB730cRHRu0B5YZ/link10

Clicking on the image does the same thing. Anyone had any success with this?

MacBook Pro (Unibody) 15" 2.4GHz C2D, 4GB RAM w/, Mac OS X (10.6.2), ; Alu iMac(7,1) 20" 10.5.8; iPod touch 2G 8GB, OS 3.1.2; AEBS MB053B/A v7.4.2

Worked ok for me. Just clicked the Download button, it launched iTunes and I now have a Snow Patrol tune that I don't think I'll listen to again - but it was free 🙂

The "Red Button" and the image are one and the same.

Can someone post the address that Mail.app shows them when they hover over the download link?

Solved! Oddly, it turns out the problem is with my copy of Safari 4.0.4, most likely the custom, ad-blocking CSS I'm using (and had completely forgotten about). Here's how Safari displays the page:
!http://lh4.ggpht.com/_aNwLYfgm8rE/SzZ-ykJLvhI/AAAAAAAAAGI/g-binLQEZgY/s800/Safa ri%2612days.png!

Here's how it shows up in Chrome:
!http://lh3.ggpht.com/ aNwLYfgm8rE/SzZ_qp8SjcI/AAAAAAAAAGU/I8D3i0qP4U/s800/Chrome%2612days.png!

Turns out the root URL for the image is clkuk.tradedoubler.com, and is probably being blocked as a result.

Thanks for all the replies, especially on Boxing Day!

Season's Greetings,

S.

Glad you got there in the end!

It's very hard to solve these sort of problems as we can't see what you can see and therefore assume that what we are seeing is what you are seeing 🙂

I had the same problem in Windows Vista using Internet Explorer. If you right click on the red box (download now) and click on 'open link in new window' it will take you to series one of Alan Partridge and at the bottom is the free one - 'Knowing Me, Knowing Yule' - just click on that and it will download.
