Can't download my bootloader

Please specify EXACTLY what you have done.

As I said in your other thread (which got deleted) the file is OF.mi4, NOT M14. This makes a huge difference.

Okay, here it is. About 2 hours ago now, I went to rockbox.org. I opened the manual in one tab, and followed the instructions EXACTLY. After extracting the current build to the root directory on my player, I clicked the link to download the bootloader. When I clicked that, it took me to a page with a whole bunch of gibberish and little green dots (maybe the gibberish was computer codes, I don't know). So I stopped, and started to despair. I then remembered about the rock box utility. I thought I was saved! I deleted thhe firmware I had manually installed, then  I downloaded the utility, it detected my player, and I clicked on the small/simple/whatever the heck it is called installation. the progress window opened, and it did its' thing. Now, when it got to the part about the firmware itself, it said "encountered download error http404 or something like that.  I thought, okay, and looked at my players root directory. The Rockbox file was there, but it only had one thing in it. The bootloader installed fine though. So I unplugged my player, and all I got was "system files missing, use the firmware recovery tool on iriver.com blah blah blah" So I followed the uninstall method outlined in the manual. I then tried the same thing again. I read how to install the bootloader and firmware seperately using the utility, and tried that. Same results. I have tried every combination of those three methods I can imagine, with the same terrible, disheartening results. Now the only thig I haven't done is do the whole thing manually, because i cannot download the darn bootloader. That's is everything. If you are able to, maybe you could download the bootloader and attch it in an email to me? Or, if you know what I have done wrong, please enlighten me.  
And I know that the file is mi4, not m14. that was just a typo in that other thread.

AlexP:
Right click on the link for the bootloader and select save as.
