That's funny.. I use Opera to download everything, and I seem to be happier than you.

i think the only way to prevent that is to directly choose your temp folder as the download location

yeah, it's just resaving the temp file. It's no big deal.

Uhhh...but it's downloading to temp, then copying...how is that any different than copying straight to your save to directory?

OK, you had all better PM me some passwords or make heavy use of the upload abilities of my FTP, or I'm telling the Mods on you. ;)
