i totally forgot about posting but, i'm running osx and still having the same problems. when going to a web site that offers downloads by clicking "download now" nothing happens. it looks like something is going to happen and then the page is simply reloaded. any suggestions would be appreciated.

What version of OSX are you using? Panther? Jaguar? The reason I ask is with Jaguar Safari is a lot different and did not work as well with some sites and might be causing problems. If you are running the latest Panther you should have no problems. I wonder also if the sites you are downloading from require PopUps to work so a Download window can pop up? Seen that a few times.
Are you using Safari?

Try downloading from www.mozilla.org and if it will work try Firefox. If that does not download, something is wrong somewhere. Also like someone else suggested, check to see if Pop Ups are blocked. Try turning it off if they are and see if that works. |

did you check the popups? Are they blocked?
I have a G4/350 with Jaguar and can download just fine. Something is set wrong somewhere.
Give me an example of a site you can not download from. I will fire up my G4 with Jaguar and try it and get back to you.
Opps, you did say Mozilla will not work. going there now.

Well, I have popups blocked on that old Mac and went into Safari to www.mozilla.org and clicked on download and it went right in and brought the download manager and downloaded Firefox. Will do some checking and see if I can find what is the problem.
Will get back to you later. |
