Saw the notice that a new version of an application was available on the author's webpage. [I had downloaded the previous version of the application several days ago.] Went to that website and clicked on the URL for the .zip package. The Mozilla/2 download "completed" in less than two seconds. [Obviously, that is less time than it would take to transfer the file from the 'net.] This time investigated the options available by right-button clicking on the URL. The 'save as' option would have downloaded the cgi script to which the URL pointed, __not__ the .zip file which that script eventually accessed. My conclusion: right- button clicking does *not* force a new download of a file. My solution was to go into Preferences -> Advanced -> Cache, and clear the Mozilla disk cache. Then when I clicked on the URL, the .zip file *was* downloaded from the author's webpage. The moral of this tale: If Mozilla has "cached" a file it has downloaded, and if the user issues another "download request" for a file having that same name, Mozilla will satisfy that request out of its "cache", without bothering to repeat the download. I DO NOT KNOW HOW to override this built-in behavior. mikus (using the 0609 VACPP version of Mozilla)
