  Hi Tony,

  You should use a program called "Free Download Manager" from the website
  called www.freedownloadmanager.org. When installed it creates a downloads
  folder on the main root of your hard drive, example, c:\downloads. This
  software takes over control of your file downloads and you can be sure to
  always find them in the downloads folder after it finishes its work.
  Everytime it senses that a file is going to be downloaded it pops up and
  takes charge of downloading the software or whatever else you want to
  download at the time. I have used it for years now and its great. Completely
  free and no spyware or addware.

  As soon as it senses a file download it comes up and gives you an ok button
  or a cancel button No adjustments are necessary, just hit enter on the OK
  button and let it complete the download. Should you for some reason not want
  it to take charge of that particular download then just tab to cancel and
  hit enter on it the download will then be returned to the normal windows
  control.

  Paul.

  Hi Tim, 
   
  Any tips so the system knows that it is a podcast when I press the apps key?

   
  In other words I'm getting everything except 'save target as' at times! 
   
  It's like that the system doesn't know that the link I'm going to hit after
  the apps key is a podcast. 
   
  Thanks, 
   
  Tony

  Hi Tony,

  Have you tried hitting the  apps key   before pressing enter on the
  download link?  Doing it after will be too late  as the download would have
  begun already.

  It might bring up that context menu where you can choose  the  saze
  as   option.

  Tim

  Tim, 

  For example I downloaded Audioview and it just went to a
  temporary folder where it played but did not ask where I wanted downloaded
  to. 

  I tried to download a documentary from Mushroom FM and it
  did not ask either where. 

  That file just played for a few minutes and then went round
  on a loop. 

  I tried to download an album from the Sunday Indo and it
  would not let me although I had the correct code but I could listen to the
  songs alright! 

  It kept prompting me to install the latest flash which I did
  but no joy! 

  I hit enter on a download link then immediately hit the apps
  key and go down to 'save target as' and enter but I don't be asked where I
  want the file saved to! 

  I think that say Audioview went to a temp folder something
  like Winamp library. 

  Tony

  Hi Tony,

  Do you have a specific example we canlook at?

  Your query is a little generic at the moment  for
  people to give
  constructive advice.

  Hi Folk,

  I try and download remembering 'the save as' and all
  of that and firstly I 
  am not asked where I want the download to go!

  The last programme I downloaded went to some sort of
  temporary folder but 
  othertimes when I go to play a file it may only play
  for a few minutes in a 
  loop!

  Someone suggested to me that it could be a jaws
  issue!

  I have jaws 11.

  I also have the latest flash installed.

  Any suggestions gratefully appreciated.

  Doing my head in it is!

  Tony Sweeney
