download RC1 and find file

I have now downloaded RC1 three times but, once downloaded and the downloader
closed, I do not find the file in the folder. Is this due to folder/file
permissions or..?

RE: download RC1 and find file

paulv,

I have the same problem. I have used the Akamai Download Manager twice.
First time I left it to its own devices overnight. In the morning it said it
was successful, but I could not find the file, so tried again. This time it
stopped at 99% and I had to resume. Still can't find the file. Going to try
without using Akamai (i.e. the 'to use you browser' link ) in conjuction with
another download manager such as Getright instead. Hopefully this will work.

Alga

RE: download RC1 and find file

Tried to download several times by Akamai Download Manager but can't download
the download manager itself.
Problem solved by using Flashget.
Hint: you need to specify right Referrer page (without Referrer page you'll
get just 1kb notice file).

RE: download RC1 and find file

My download worked last night, using the method I mentioned in my earlier
post. Uncle Fedor's tip is timely - I've downloaded a HTML page rather than
the file on more than one occasion. Now I click the link to make sure it
starts the download. Once I'm sure it is the link that actually starts the
download, I right click on it and cut & paste the link text into the download
manager.
