Downloading

Here's a question for ya. Everytime I download any type of file from the internet using either mozilla or internet explorer, the file size on the hard drive is zero!
I've even changed the file save location and still the same.
The only thing that works is when I click on download, instead of clicking save, I click open or run.
Any ideas?

A couple of things what kind of anti virus and firewalls are you running. second be careful about running, or opening files from web sources.

I use AVG I downloaded from ISOHunt. I did download Spayware Doctor but that didn't work properly on Vista so I got rid of that. Now use SuperAntiSpyware Pro, works fine.
I use Windows firewall as well.

No threats have been detected from AVG or SuperAntiSpyware Pro, both work fine.

The web souces I use are torrent sites like BTJunkie and ISOhunt. I check the comments from other users before downloading, its also handy when the uploader uploads a sample video for people to check the quality.
I like to check vcdquality.com to look at film pictures and I decide if its worth downloading. I rarely download music.

I use clipnabber.com to save youtube videos, thats about it as far as downloading goes.

One thing I would check is the anti-virus. It might be that AVG thinks things with torrent extensions are virii. try dissabling the av and dl.
