When I try to download attachments from my e-mail, i click the attachment link, a file download window pops up, i click save, select a location, download the file, everything seems fine... But when I go to the folder that i selected to save the file, it is not there!!! I so confused, I tried a lot download link on different websites, some links work fine but some files just disappear like i never download them...... I tried mpg, mp3, exe, doc..... They are just not there...

Can anyone help me please......

Yeah!!!
I finally solve the problem. I'm using an anti virus software called stop-sign antivirus, after I uninstalled it, everything work fine now!!! If anyone have same problem i had, maybe you can try switch a antivirus software.

If you are using firefox i have found that sometimes you need to right click on the download link and click open in new tab and then it will download. I dont know exactly why it wont download but that is the fix i have put together.

Try what i am saying and see if it works for you. If it doesnt then change your location for saving files to. Maybe there is a problem with the folder you are saving in.
