tyreil829 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 okay clear this up for me its download keeps going to a temp folder that doesnt exist? kinda odd do you have the ability to send it somewhere else + i know it sounds daft but do you have Mozilla Firefox?

MrCooper2006 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I have this problem with TESNEXUS a lot. Usually you can "Save as" and save where you want it. But now and again you cant and it automatically download the file to somehwere in your TEMP folder, once its downloaded. It opens the RAR file with the mod inside. The problem however sometimes for some reason the download is corrupted and you cant open the RAR. Only thing you can do is try right click and save as. If not clear you history in IE, if not then try downloading it from another mirror. ACE UTILITES is good for clearing your history, well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyreil829 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 the reason i asked about the Firefox is because it places all downloads ( if done a certain way) into the Desktop it isnt so much your history that causes the problem MrCooper2006 its also the Temp Internet Files as well i am not aware of a fix around the Internet Explorer part but i think i help with someone who uses FireFox Col John Sheppard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Col John SheppardIt's not a "daft" question to ask, you would be surprised the amount of people that download or even save things to places on their computer & forget were they saved them.Bottom line is Explorer & Firefox will allow you to specify were you want a download to be saved.Change the location of the saved file. If you use Firefox (which everyone should) click on:Tools, Options, "Main" tab then in the "download" part select "always ask me where to save files" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCooper2006 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 Yeah you are both correct. Its just on those occasions the guys describing the browser doesnt actually "save the file" its in a weird "temp rar" directory in C:\USers on Vista. Not sure where on XP. But yes if you can "save as" problem solved, if it downloads automaitcally youre screwed. I get this problem about 1 in 10 files i download from NEXUS using IE. Some times it asks to save sometimes it doesnt. But i said the history thing cos usually clearing my history reverts it to ask me where to save the file and then stops the problem. Not sure about FF tho i have never used it. Or you can always just use SEARCH in windows for part of the file name? I cannot download Akatosh Mount mod cos of this problem, automatically downloads it and then its a corrupt RAR. EVERY time iv tried, which iv been trying for months, every other mod iv succesfully downloaded tho... strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sonck Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 this is why you should use firefox... it has a build in download manager. if it isnt open press ctrl+j. to go to the directory where your mod is saved simply right click it and choose "open containing directory" or "open containing folder" (not sure, i use the dutch version) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
