| 74556 | 2002-08-28 12:34:00 | 1. When I use IE my download manager pops up & does the downloading. This does not happen in Opera. Should it? When I have used Opera to download which is only once I couldn't find where it stored the download to. 2. I have Window Washer & it only cleans stuff to do with IE as well & not Opera do I need to do something with settings somewhere? 3. Adaware also does IE & not Opera as far as I can tell. Thanks anyone who can answer these. Pauline. |

| 74557 | 2002-08-28 12:57:00 | Generally programs such as you've mentioned will do IE by default, as it's used by most people. More than likely if your programs can handle Opera you'll have to turn it on somewhere in the program's settings. For example my download manager is DAP - it is automatically set to monitor downloads from IE, but if I want it to monitor Opera I have to tell it to. HTH Mike. |

| 74558 | 2002-08-28 13:01:00 | what download manger? some support opera as standard, others require you to download a plugin for it. other wise you can just copy/paste link to the download app. |

| 74561 | 2002-08-28 13:43:00 | 1. You can integrate Getright into Opera with varying degrees of success. After much trial and error, I have settled on loading Getright with Opera, setting Getright to catch clipboard URLs and strat the downloads from there. That way instead of clicking on a download link, right click and choose 'copy link address' and that will send the download to Getright. My version of Opera (6.05) always asks me where I want to save the file before downloading. 2. & 3. Opera works in a very different way to IE, so much so that you don't need any external program to clean it up. All you have to do is go to File -> Delete private data and select the bits you want gone. You can also tell Opera to refuse pop-up windows (in File -> Preferences -> Windows) automatically and does a fine job of this. Personally, I can bear banner ads, it's the pop-ups that get me. SiK |

| 74562 | 2002-08-28 15:27:00 | Pauline, In Opera click on Window - Special - Transfers (or Ctrl Alt T) to open the Transfer Window (Opera's Download Manager.) From there you can see a list of the files you've downloaded, including the originating URL and the path to the file on your hard drive. If you did a standard instal and you haven't changed the default download location then your downloaded files should go to C:\Program Files\Opera\Download From the transfer Window you can resume an interrupted download or re-transfer a corrupt download. I like Opera, but I use GetRight for downloads. :) Cheers, Alan Carpenter |
