I am just starting to understand my computer and your print outs are invaluable. Ever since I can remember, I have created a folder called Downloads c:downloads and thats where everything goes from downloads, to pictures, to saved emails, and so on.
You might want to point out where other browsers download by default — Firefox uses the Desktop. I use the Opera browser and been using it so long I forget where they set up the default download folder. My is set for c:downloads…of course. It will start with a list of all files, then you type in whatever characters you are seeking, and the list will shrink to show only file names containing those characters.
Good tip for downloading pdf. Still have to search for files too often. Can you give me a method to open them? The article addresses where downloaded files end up, however they apparently are downloaded to a temporary place before being moved to the location mentioned in the article or specified by the user.
One can observe this when downloading a large file, say greater than 30 MB. First you get the usual dialog box asking where you wish to save the file to. Then the file downloads.
Then a box pops up saying that the file is being copied to the destination that you selected. As I mentioned, if the downloaded file is large, then this coping takes a while a few seconds and you notice this copy occuring by the pop-up box. Thus, it makes sense that IE waits to copy the entire successfully downloaded file to the location that you specified originally.
However, suppose that you have MB of free space on your disk, and you want to download a MB file. This should work, but does not. The file may download successfully, leaving you with 50 MB free disk space. Then when IE tries to copy the MB file that is already on your hard drive to the download location that you specified originally, it FAILS since there is no space left! IE obviously should MOVE the file to your destination rather than copy, it which leaves 2 copies on the disk.
IE5 areas to locate the file that was downloaded but not copied over to your desired destination. You can then work with the file, or MOVE not copy if running out of disk space it to a useful location. Note that the file name of this temporay file may be cryptic. Note that for the power users, you can use something like wget to fetch a file outside of IE and avoid this problem if you have a URL.
My suggestion is use everything search from voidtools to find the file or search under the Content. IE5 folder. IE and Firefox have an internet option to tell all downloads where to go. Personally, all my downloads go to desktop. Easy to find, and then after the download is processed I delete or save to the appropriate place. Remember Leo, Most of the world still uses Windows 7. When all else fails?
I never use the IE browser. So there is no guesswork as where files have been downloaded. If VirusTotal finds something nefarious you have the option to cancel the download. I even go two steps further. After all three scans I can then either install the program or move it to a folder of my choosing.
I use the setting in my browser Firefox to always ask me where to download a file to. When I set up a new computer I make my own top-level directory, and then make my own sub-directories under it as I go for whatever data category I need, Financial, Computer Notes, Media Files, Photos, etc.
And as a side benefit, I can back up all my data by simply copying my top-level directory. Also, vcan this be done in all browsers including Safari on a Mac? Leo I nearly consigned yuou and all yer works.. This article saved you. The downloads article i found useful and apart from the diversion in to w8 at which point it became incomprehensible UNTIL read that enlightening comment…but interim, I spen t bha;lfan hours trying to find your examples, to no avail.
I am perhaps a somewhat better user than most oldies I am 78 and mostly self taught, and tolerably literate. Or need to do at all. I imagine Leo will pipe in on this one, but the vast majority articles on Ask Leo! Unfortunately, the solution to many of these questions is a geeky fix. Thanks in advance. When I down load videos or any thing for that matter off the internet were will they be downloaded at and how do I find them????
