That's the problem - error 404.  The file is no longer on the site.

take that url, stick it in a browser... no file. take it back to
../umbrella/ and you even get a page with that band (or whatever they are)
listed with DEAD LINKS THAT DO NOT WORK. either way mplayer will try to
connect to port 80 (http), maybe windoze uses a different port or
something? i wouldn't know personally...
