Download probs

[Mx2000]

I have a prob when i try and d/l on certain sites , it say's 'right click and save as' , now i do this and the 'save as' is ghosted? and also on music sites i press the 'hi-fi or lo-fi' and it play's fine, now if i click the d/l link all it does is play 'hi-fi' , could someone please tell me why is this?.

So, you want to save music from a link? You can either right-click on the link and press "save target as" or go in your temporaty internet files and find it in there.

. . . and for those links where the "save target as" or "save as" is greyed out, that means that the file isn't available for download. It's the discretion of the website to allow/disallow downloading of particular files. [many sites will let you listen to a live stream, but not download the entire file separately - this is, of course, to keep the authors ability to pay their rent in good shape]

This is from sites that allow it
I think it's my content adviser , how i don't know , but i tried switching it off and the 'save as' has returned.
Thanx anyhow peeps

If you have youngsters around who need the content controls for when they are on the Internet, I imagine you'd be OK if you created a new user for yourself [you'd have no restraints], or poke around in the help files for altering your previous setup.

Several of the parents at our gradeschool report pretty good experiences with their web filtering software. Most are using whatever is provided from their ISP, or the builtin controls in IE6.

....then we go back to worrying about something else! (that's a 2nd job of parenting, right?)
