Dan,
You probably managed to uncheck the checkbox that asks "Always ask before
downloading?". It's located on the dialog box which contains the buttons to
Save or Open the file.
I'm not sure how to reset the checkbox, but it sounds like from what you
described that it may be specific to a given web page since Bookshare uses a
single web page to download every book from the collection and a different
one to download books from Step 1. If that's the case, then you might clear
it up by deleting your cookies.
If that doesn't do it, then you should at least be able to save the file
using the Save Target As option in the context menu for the DAISY link until
you're able to determine how to reset the checkbox or if it's being caused
by something else.
HTH
Gerald

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] downloading problems with .bks files
I have recently started seeing the following behavior. It only started
recently and I can't find a way to fix it. I hope someone out there knows
how to fix it.
When I go to download a book from Bookshare it works fine until I get to the
actual point of pressing enter on the Daisy link. At that point the page
indicates that it is pull in the file info but once it is done it then
proceeds to download the book and opens the unpacker.
In the past when it got to this point it would stop and ask me if I want to
open or save the file first.
I checked the security settings under internet options. It seems to be set
correctly.
If I try to download any other file such as one of the rtf files from the
volunteer validation page it works the way I expect. It stops and asks me
if I want to open or save the file.
I'd like it to always ask me instead of automatically opening the file.
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Thanks.
