Attachment download problem?

[Geraint]

If I look at the following posting:

http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,15866.0.html

I am able to download the second attachment but not the first - I get the following message:

Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.

This may of course be a caching/proxy issue but if it is then its not at my end.  Can anyone else see the first attachment?

Thanks

They are both working for me...

Thanks for the quick response Brad

I'm still getting the problem (many hours after I first encountered it) on the first link but if I add a spurious parameter to the query (e.g ";x=3") I can get the download.

I have now tried what I should've tried before which is to clear my browser cache - it then worked ok 

The next question (OT) is how do you setup Apache to tell a browser not to cache a bad download?

Could you please give this a shot now?

It worked after I had cleared my cache.  Rather stupidly I hadn't checked the response headers before clearing the cache so I can't tell you what expiration date was set or what response code my browser was getting from the server.

I did, however, notice that the download counter on the forum was incremented with each failed attempt to download so there was a request being made to ther server, which I'm guessing was telling my browser (Firefox 1.07) that the content hadn't changed.
