well, can you mail it to yourself?

Hi David, not if the link has an extension at the end of it, typed

Seriously though, what you can do is press vo-shiftshift-m on the
link and select download linked fine as or whatever you want from
that menu.

Hi David, let us say that you are given a file with an mp3
extention, if you go to a particular site, and if the link points
toward the mp3, you could make it download by pressing option
enter, but if you were to copy the link and put it in the address
bar of safari, it would automatically open. I was downloading .rm
files from a site
http://www.mikesmess.com/oldie3.rm
which is a direct link to the file, and even while I had safari
4.0, it would automatically download, but now, that site is
infected, so I tried uploading the file to my web site, but when I
typed it in, real player opened up, and I do have that check box
unchecked, because it is my understanding that with .dmg files,
they would automatically open in the finder, which I didn't want.
Sorry for rambling on, but in the other platform, there is the
registered file types dialog, and I've told it what I want to
download, in cases where I might want a direct file.

Marty,
there is only one setting that even comes close to this in
safari. ingeneral safari prefs, you will find it labeled open
safe files after downloading. if you uncheck the checkbox,
nothing that is clicked on will be downloaded except web pages
and their associated files and those wrapped in instructions
instructing safari to do so. I do not know how to overide open
instructions from the web and I do not know of a way to tell
safari not to download files but that checkbox will play after
downloading and it is checked by default so if we had a better
idea of for example, where you are on the web, we might be able
to help with this. Windows has some interesting habits indeed.

Hi all, how does one instruct safari not to automatically
download certain file types if there is a direct link to a file,
for example, an mp3 file, or something like that? In a browser
on the other platform, when you first would download a file,
there would be a series of radio buttons that would come up as to
what to do regarding that file type, and it would be nice, if you
could tell safari how to deal with each file type, and thanks in
advance for any assistance.
