I see now. I did get the original file to download but I had to tab
to do it as the download link wouldn't come under the mouse when I
just moved with voiceover and then tired to line up the mouse. So
now I've started the actual downloader application and have chosen
the file so hopefully the book is now downloading.
Thanks.

Okay, I understand how RFBD downloading works; I've done it in
Windows. My question is: How using the Mac do I obtain the original
file? If I click on the download link for the book in "My Downloads"
I get taken to the technical faq which would seem to indicate I
can't download the original file without their Windows download
manager. Do I still have to get that original file with Windows or
is there a way to get it to download with the aMac> Then I do
understand that I'll access that file on my computer with the RFBD
downloader application for the Mac and the actual book will be
downloaded. But I have to get that original file to download first.
What piece of information am I missing here?
Tia.

OK let me explain the whore process of downloading RFB&D books. This
assumes of course that you are an RFB&D member.
First log into the RFB&D website and search for a book and order it
with online delivery.
When you order an online book from RFB&D they will send you an email
informing you when the book is ready for download this can take up
to a day to happen. You then must go to the RFB&D website log in
again and go to the "My Downloads" section. There will be a Download
link for each book you ordered. This link downloads not the book but
rather a file with a name that ends with .rfbd
It is this .rfbd file that the RFBD Downloader application wants you
to open. When you do it will start to download all the part to the
book in a directory named for the book's title in your downloads
directory.
At some point I hope to be able to have the downloader application
start up when the download of the .rfbd file is finished downloading
as it does in windows but for now it remains a two step process,
download your .rfbd file and then open it in RFBD Downloader and let
it finished the job.
I hope this clears thing up.

I still do ot understand this application. from what I read, it
seems to be supposed to download a file. from what I experience,
it seems to want you to find a file that you have already downloaded.

I have made a few interface improvements in the RFB&D Downloader
application and have posted it at the project site: http://www.cucat.org/projects/rfbd/index.php
I have added a notice when the process finished and it will also
bounce the icon in the Dock as well. I had to remove for now the
background downloading as it was creating interface issue that I
will have to deal with in a future version.
I have moved some support file to where they should have been in
the program's file structure.
