I've never associated any type of braille-format file with an application
and have never had a problem downloading books from Web-Braille. I don't
know what might be going on in your situation, but all I do is locate the
download link, press the NumPad * button (this is in JAWS--I can't speak for
any other access program), then choose the option labeled Download Target
As.

At least here on every computer I have tried, to download a .brf or .brl
file, which are the Braille extentions, those types of files need to be
associated with a program. you don't actually need to use that program to
open them, but with out associating those file types with a program, the
computer will display rather than download the file when you press enter on
it's name. You might be able to get around this by using the application or
context key as it is called. It's the same as the right mouse click so it
has three names actually.
Anyway after associating the file extentions with a program when you press
the enter key on a link to a volume, and answer Yes to the dialog message,
you can download the file like any other file you download from your web
browzer.
Do i the association steps once, and you are done, until you buy a new
computer. You can simplify this process greatly if you own k1000, I can't
imagine that the new Openbook won't do it either. I haven't seen that
though.
