Arachne at FreeLists---The Arachne Fan Club!
Hi Brian,
I don't know what is happening on your
computer, but when I download a zip, when the
download is finished I get page that has the
downloaded file name in a box with a button
that says SAVE. If I click on the button, without doing
anything else, the downloaded file is saved to
"d:\arachne\download" directory. It couldn't
get any simpler. If I wish to save the file in
a different directory, I can change the default
destination in the box to the name and/or
directory I want before I click on the save button.
Browsers always save downloaded files to
a cache first. That is the way they work. Unless
your editor has bungled up some of your Arachne
files then anything could happen.

Brian, That's exactly what happens.....Press F2....
Click on the SAVE button....the downloaded file
goes into the DOWNLOAD directory by default.
