Question file download
Hi,
I am using Microsoft Windows xp Professional version 2002 sevice pack 3 Registered to Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 pc Intel(R) Pentium (R) Processor 1.86GHz, 137GB OF RAM.

I have saved to my yahoomail a folder containing a total of about 800 song and txt files.
this is a total of about 15000kb's.
When i attempt to download the folder to my documents , i receive a dialoge box after a few minutes, that reads,
"Internet Explorer cannot download .zip, The connection with the server was reset".
Will i be able to down load the files?
Regards,
allandavies2000

Are you trying to transfer the file to another computer or are you intending to use yahoo mail as a storage option?

I stored them in the yahoo folder in case something happened to the pc, such as having to reinstall.
that has now happened and I am using another pc trying to download the folder to documents folder.

Just right click the folder/file and press save target as and then save it to where you want it.
