O/T - Downloading files using OPERA browser?

Featured Replies

I have been using OPERA lately. It has a lot of features which I like and I find it to be much faster than IE6. The biggest problem with IE6 is the way that the cache doesn't always work as it should. With OPERA , when you click the "Back" button to go back to a page that you have previously been to, it goes there instantaneously. IE6 frequently redownloads previously visited pages.Anyway - to the question. When downloading with OPERA, a download page pops up . This download page works just like an addon Download Manager programme. It allows you to recommence the download if you get dropped off during a download. My trouble is , I don't know how to get this window back onto the screen if I do have to recommence a download. The only way I can now do it is to start another download of some other file - and when the window pops up, I stop that download and recommence the download I want. I know there is a better way - but can't find it!! :)Any help much appreciated.Barry

As JK so succinctly put it -- go up to the menu and click on Windows. In the drop down options, choose Special, then Transfers.I've been using Opera for a while too. I usually like it better than Netscape, but in my case it won't display certain websites correctly. :-( -Lindy :-wave

My preference isInternet Explorer > Opera > NetscapeI'd rather have a web page not being displayed perfectly in Opera (and what about the bunch of additional features it has?) than have Netscape messing around with and adding tons of crap to my system...http://www.geocities.co.jp/HiTeens-Panda/5...sig20021226.gif

I can't say that I am having any problem accessing any webpages at this stage -- do you have any perticular sites that you can't get into? I like IE and know it inside out - but the cache is BROKEN!!! There is nothing more frustrating than clicking on "back" to go back to a page that was previously displayed fully on your screen - only to find that IE wants to redownload it again!!Barry
