Re: can't download file - "you need permission"


I almost didn't bother going through registration to answer this.
Almost.

For my idea of a solution.

Do you see the name of the file in the 'save' window?
The thing is, v64 won't let you save some types of files. For some
reason. It can be disabled, but you don't really have to. Just change
the extension of the saved file to say: 'a'.

So if you have 'file.exe' it would be 'file.a'. Thus the "protection"
is circumvented. Yay.

When downloaded, the file should be renamed back to exe but i guess you
knew that.
