Well, I feel a little better seing as its related to HP, but why was it
fw2net?

I don't know how the internals of browsers work and the download did
complete just fine.  Since I was on HP's site, I didn't stop andd read
what the link targets were with each download.  Can a link point to a
port number and not just a URL and have the browser request a file from
a specific port (i.e. not 80 for http or whatever it is for ftp)?

Yes, e.g. http://www.example.com:8030/

It could also have been a browser plugin, _javascript_... who knows.
