My tech skills are rusting horribly but I tried to briefly take a look at this...
I'm seeing the same behavior with the Firefox save-as file extension being .m4a vs the displayed URL showing .mp3.
Opening either extension in VLC and viewing the codec info (Tools->Codec Info / Ctrl+J) shows the actual encoding to be 'MPEG AAC Audio (mp4a)'.
I didn't try grabbing a file from the torrent, but if I use the media tab in Firefox 'Page Info' (Ctrl+I) to "save as" the embedded IA player file it suggests a matching .mp3 extension with the displayed address (but the codec is still mp4a).
The main thing I'm not following is what you mean by having parse errors in Mp3tag. So far I haven't seen any metadata included in either the .mp3 or .m4a downloads (I only tested the first file), they both play audio fine, and if I browse to their directory in Mp3tag (vers. 2.57) it doesn't seem to show anything unusual to me (empty metadata, no error/alert messages). What exactly is the parse error or how is it behaving differently from what's expected?
I also just wanted to say "THANK YOU!" for an awesome support post. You posted it to the right community, gave it a short but very descriptive title, gave lots of info about what you've tried and the results you've experienced -- and did so politely :)

Oh, what happened to the toaster?
According to Reddit posts where I first saw this linked it's from 2000. Here's the artist's page, didn't see a date attached to it there unfortunately.
I was mostly referring to the quality being shitty and less-so the content of the edits themselves.
- To start with, it looks like they used a row-resolution base and then possibly tried to AI upscale it (look at animal faces on the "protect kids" wrap and the artist signature/items on the table)
- The pointless circular blur near the collar of the box holder
- The weird clone/stamp action going on with the side of the box - just use a solid box if the goal is efficiency vs quality!
But also leaving the artist's signature on an edited comic and not mentioning it's modified feels shitty too. This isn't a meme or political community so I'd think posting the original is more appropriate anyway.
Original by John Jonik without the shitty edits:
Does a low resolution desktop capture of someone slowly and sloppily typing messages for the viewer into notepad count as text-based?
How about a gigantic compressed image of mostly plain text attached to a post that requires an account to download files? Maybe also with a colored/patterned background to make trying to print the monstrosity even more fun.
Or maybe actual embedded text, but served via 300 MB of bloated libraries and fonts and a script that disables right-clicking and text selecting.
Warp and weft...until it is done.
