Poser - OFFICIAL F.A.Q (Last Updated: 2025 Jan 11 12:18 am)
I went there with MSIE and could not download anything because I setup GetRight to download automatically with IE. So I went there with Mozilla Firefox and I was able to download the item you mentioned. No problem. I don't see a new window when I get there but the menu looks like a Flash animation. You get a little flash then it goes black then it starts building the menus.

I don't get that window. I get a new page opening, but only for a split second.

With Mozilla-Firefox, I don't even see the flash window... just a black void.

I don't get that window. I get a new page opening, but only for a split second. That's IE savignthe file to your temp space. Take a look inside your browser cache and you'll likely see the zip file there. Try to right click and save as the file.

With Firefox, I can see the "adblock" little box. That is your problem. Disable adblock and you should get there fine.

I just checked on my "baseline" system, and I see the issue you're having. Because it's a flash interface, you can't right click to get the file, since the flash player is what you are right clicking, and the prgram (swf) is sending the file information to IE in a default state that causes IE to simply save it automatically, instead of giving you a window. Look in your IE cache, though. It should be there. Tols - internet options - settings - view files

I did what you suggested, and there are no zip files saved there. By the way, where do I find that "temporary internet files" folder in XP? It's not in my Windows folder like it was with 98SE

Acadia, after I edited the previous message to give you the full path for my Internet files, I thought it might be best to tell you how I found them. ;o) In Internet Explorer, go to "Tools/Internet Options/Temporary Internet Files/Settings" and it tells you the location of your Temporary Internet files for IE.

The wierd thing is that I can open their tutorials, but can't save their free stuff.

Thanks :) I like to access my folders through their path instead of through menus. I'm still stumped why I can view and download their tutorials, but I can't download and save any of their free items in IE. I looked in the temporary internet folder and there are no zip files in there at all. Just standard stuff like cookies and .jpg and .gif files.

Have you tried searching for *.zip in the Documents and settings folder?

I managed to save the file after I turned off adblock in Mozilla. Still can't save using IE there though. Odd. But I have the sword now, so I'm not going to worry about it. Thanks a bunch everyone :)

I have firefox, and I finally found it, lower left corner way over on the left. The stuff on the right is just descriptions.
Generally, if the cursor becomes the White Hand (no, not Saruman..;), you have the link. Sometimes, you can right-click and use 'Save Target As', which will help at times..already have the sword, and thanks for the link..;)

I get the quick close window as well but the download works in Slimbrowser/IE6. It also leaves an empty window open with the path to the file in the address bar. It does the same thing with the freebies here which is very handy--I can copy the address and use my DL manager to get the files. I dearly hate sites that use Flash and offer no alternative access method. I have Flash disabled by default.

Yes, I was clicking that button, but I couldn't download. Post 8 shows what was happening. A window opening and closing all in 1/10th of a second. I managed to download no problem in Firefox after I turned off adblock. However, I still can't download from there using IE, and I have popup OFF, and the box checked to let me pick whether to save or open. So something is buggy with my IE or something, which is another reason why I like Mozilla so much :)

Yes, I get that IE file download window at other sites....see my screenshot in post #12. However, it doesn't appear at this particular site. Instead I get what you see in post #8, only the window opens and closes in a 1/10th of a second.
Quote - plain IE (6.0.2800.110615) just flashes it before displaying the normal download dialog.
I get the flashing window, but I don't get the normal download dialogue window.
Anyway, I managed to download in Firefox-Mozilla after I turned off ad block. It's really strange because I never have problems downloading in IE before. It seems isolated to this site only. I usually use "right click and save as" when I can, but I know at Flash sites saving like that isn't possible. Message edited on: 12/25/2005 00:08

> Quote - I have the same problem in IE Acadia, I cant d/l the freebies there :( I wonder what's causing it, I dont have Firefox or any other browser...I really recommend Mozilla-Firefox. Give it a try. If you don't like it you can always uninstall it. After installing the browser, you can customize it to your needs by adding Extensions The extensions that I have that enhances the browser are: Adblock Tabbrowser Preferences IE View downTHEMall!

Looks like their domain got pulled out from under them, a common thing these days, ot they just went the way of all 'net flesh. Here's a link to their original startup announcement. Perhaps you can contact him/her at RDNA."Democracy is a pathetic belief in the collective wisdom of individual ignorance." - H. L. Mencken
Thanks :) I sent a message here. I'll also send one through RDNA too. I hope they didn't lose the domain. It was a great site.

I couldn't see the main window in Mozilla, so I used IE. I clicked on a "free stuff" button, then clicked one of the two links below the window. A new window opens up for a split second, but then closes. I can't even see if there was anything in the window because it opens and closes in less time than it takes to blink. Anyone have any ideas on how to download from that site? I want that "Deathbringer Sword". I used to have it but lost it to a corrupt CD save."It is good to see ourselves as others see us.
