hi doom_niners,

since today just every file from the news page starts to download itself into the tempfolder?!

I did setup a new system yesterday but didn't changed any IE setting [so, settings are as always], but aside from that it never happend before that a download starts into temp folder... may I have to set up something manually, 'cause I'd like to be able to determine myself the destination folder...

thanks in advance

that's actually a problem of IE, not my site. It happens on one of my computers as well and has something to do with the IE configuration (I think it was discussed somewhere on this board... but I can't find the thread now.. in fact I'd like to fix this on my 2nd machine as well because it's really annoying).

guess what.. if a problem bugs you as well you have the right mindset to go looking for yourself. Here's the answer to your (and my) problem: http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=42097&highlight=download

thanks - I'll have a look for your mentioned thread. Playing around with the IE settings didn't solved the problem and even restoring the default values couldn't solve it.

but now I can at least right click and hit 'save as...' (before restoring to defaults this gave me our beloved 'leech.html')

strange thing though...
