[ale] Odd execute problem

[David Boardman]

Sounds to me like either your permissions on the file are wrong, or your user/group
access to the file is wrong.  I believe these are the only reasons you would get a
"permission denied" error.  Can you do an 'ls -al' on the /download directory and
give us that info?
