[Dtb-talk] Download Question

[Mary ellen]

You won't get a percentage with the new system.  If you have a "downloads"
section on your computer, you can go there and it will tell you the
percentage that has downloaded so far.  I don't know if it's possible to set
the computer to alert you when your download has completed.  As long as you
remember to hit alt/n and then tab to the "Save" option, it works well.
You're returned immediately to the precise place you were in BARDwhen the
download started.  You can tell if your download completed by checking the
file.  If it says "zip" at the end, the file is done downloading.  If it
says "partial" you know the download is still in process.

Using Firefox is a good idea.  Thanks.

Debbie, I use firefox myself and the download window is very accessible
there.  I prefer it over I.E. anyway myself.
