Very good Paul.
I am now on the FDM site and there's a lot there but what version am I looking
for and better still do you have a direct download link?
It may very well solve my download problem indeed.
Thanks,
Tony Sweeney

Hi Tony,
That's not a problem, when the manager pops up to take control of the
downloading file, just before you hit the spacebar on the ok button, tab
over to where it says, file will be downloaded to c:\downloads and either
clear this box and type in a new path or tab to the browse button and select
a folder where you want to have this particular file downloaded into. Once
you have done this, tab back over to the OK button and hit the spacebar to
begin the download process.
Paul.

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,
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.

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
