I gues it's just that I'm used to simply clicking "Run" or "Save" and all the files I need will be downloaded. When I go to the mirror site to download Apache there are so many folders and files, I don't know if I'm suppose to click on each one and "Save" each in a folder I created for it or only select a certain folder and download each one in that folder. There are no instructions. See here - http://ftp.wayne.edu/apache/
