Hi Karen, OK, here's what I'm thinking with this. When a Web page is being downloaded with KeyWeb, it is first saved to the Temp folder of the KeySoft System Disk. I've had the same thing happen to me a couple of times (I'm referring to the behavior you described in your below e-mail), so I have a feeling that, for one reason or another, the file in question was placed in the Temp folder at some point. I never checked to see if the file in question was there when it happened to me (I don't know why), but it sure would have been interesting to see. When a file is downloaded, it's first saved to the KS Disk regardless of where you choose to download it, and after it is saved there, it is then transferred to the location you selected. However, if the file is larger than the amount of free space on the KS Disk (typically around 6 or 6.5 MB), it cannot get transferred to the KS Disk, so it therefore will not be downloaded on the BN. However, you're saying that your download was completed, so I have a feeling that the file did not transfer successfully from the Temp folder, and it was discarded from that folder, so you wouldn't have seen it anywhere. This hasn't happened very often with me, maybe only twice.
