When downloading pdf files, a download dialogue box should appear when using the browser. Presently, a download dialogue box does not appear when downloading pdf. This causes a problem when downloading large pdf files, because there will be a long wait and the user has no idea what is going on, or if there is some problem. If downloading with Flashget (not using browser) this problem is eliminated because Flashget will indicate the file download progress. However when downloading a large pdf file with just the browser (Mozilla or Internet Explorer) there is no indication of any downloading, or any indication of download progress, so this is very confusing. The problem could be solved if when using Fileden and downloading with the browser, a download dialogue box should appear so that the user knows what is going on.

Hiya,

This is because some users choose to open the PDF with their browser, rather than wanting to download it to their PC. If a user doesn't want to read it in the browser, they can right click and select 'Save As'.

Kind regards,
The File Den Team.
