Hi Ray,
I don't understand the source of this problem, but in general, if you copy a link to the
Safari or Web Kit address bar, by using Command-C, navigate to the address bar with
Command-L, then paste with Command-V, and highlight the address again with Command-L, you
can press Return and the linked entry should download. The step of highlighting the link
(final Command-L), makes the action of pressing "Return" act like pressing
Option+Return on a link to force downloading. This is why, if you activated a link and
started playing an mp3 file you meant to download, or else displayed a PDF in your
browser that you meant to download, simply using Command-L, and pressing return will
force the file in the Safari plug-in to download -- you highlighted the file with the
Command-L.
HTH. Obviously if there are problems with broken links as the source of your
download problems this won't fix them.
Cheers,
Esther

Hi,
A friend sent me four drop box files via public links. Problem is I could
only download one of them. I interacted with the message text and focused
on the link. then, I opened the short cut menu. From there, I chose
"download linked file". this only worked for one. It would not work for
any other. I noticed that the links are broken up in to two lines. Any way
to deal with this?
Sincerely,
The Constantly Barefooted Ray!!!
