This makes it indeed a bit more untrivial, but I see possibilities. First, I would like to support the view of Mr. ? that this function potentially violates privacy issues. Not everything that is possible technically has to be implemented. At least there must be an option for it. But back to technical issues, with only little effort I could implement an intelligent storing interface that tries to keep received data in RAM as long as possible and the destination is unknown, but stores to the destination after the name is known/validated. Including error feedback. - I guess the new download manager will confront the same problem, so it's worth a thought. I think this kind of drivespace problems are quite common and their solution brings more than practically irrelevant savings of online seconds. Greetings, Wolf
