Hi folks, I was on leave for nearly a fortnight, so I'm jusst catching up on the list now. Tony, there's a very comprehensive review of Free Download Manager, on Blind Cool Tech, from a couple of years back. It's done by Sean Randle and lasts about an hour or so. Log onto www.blindcooltech.com And used the find command (CTRL-F,) to look for Free Download Manager.

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.

Once you have done this, tab back over to the OK button and hit the spacebar to begin the download process. Paul. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tony sweeney Sent: 22 October 2010 09:59 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Download Problem Hi Paul, That sounds good indeed. Now if I want my downloads to go to my documents can I with that programme?

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. -----Original Message----- From: vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:vicsireland-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of tony sweeney Sent: 21 October 2010 18:05 To: vicsireland@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [vicsireland] Re: Download Problem 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.

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.

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.

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

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!
