Very odd. My browser (Chrome Mac 8.0.552.237) downloads the page (101206-knuth.asx) instead of showing it. Is this a bug on my end or on the hosting end?

EDIT: Nevermind, just realized I was expecting a web page and its a streaming media file. I confused the extension with .asp

It's not a bug, that's actually a video stream. Open VLC, and then use Open Network to open the link. It'll stream the video lecture.
