    At most websites, when I try to click on a link my download manager pops on wanting to download a html from the link I just clicked on.
    Sometimes I get through, but most times I get the download.

    Thanks, Nikki

    Hi

    That happens alot as many sites now use methods to stop other sites linking to their downloads and leeching bandwidth, and because of this many download managers just download the HTML page to the popup window that will house the actual download file.

    Its not when I want to download something.
    If I should click on FAQ on the top of this page instead of going to the FAQ's I get a html download, and I'm still on the same page.
