I've simply loved theses socks, but when I've clicked on download diagonal rib socks, only I've got is a text named "login asp" in notepad. Have I made any mistake?

This has been a very easy pattern for me, only 4 rows to repeat. I have made it in fingering wt and worsted wt yarns. Everyone loves it. Appeals to the men in my family that they are requesting more than one pair of socks. Great pattern and I would recommend it to those experienced and new to knitting socks.
