<div class="IPBDescription">and temporary internet files</div> Ok, so internet explorer keeps a folder for temporary internet files. Now lets say I go ahead and click a torrent link. A message comes up saying "cannot find xxxx.torrent" file. If I click to open a .zip file, when it opens, it'll be blank, in essence indicating it couldn't find it either. If however I save these files to desktop without immediately opening, they seem fine. Anyone know wth is going on here?

    hmmmm, maybe you should check if your temporary internet files folder exits, if you have windows xp
    itll be in C:\Documents and Settings\[Your User Name Here]\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files, in
    ME/98 I think it is under C:\windows\profiles or sumthing to that effect.

    You could also try reinstalling internet explorer or try using it in another account and see if the problem props up, if it dosnt, time for a new account. Not sure if a service pack will help but you could try installing the latest one if you havent already.

    If all else fails, get opera <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->

    If that doesn't work, go to your Internet Tools, View Objects, and delete any damaged ones.

    Think I found one issue, when I click a link, and it can't find it, lets say xxx.torrent for example, it says:

    can't find c:\documents and settings\[name]\local settings\temporary internet files\content.ie5\OT4ROB4F\xxxx.torrent,
    but there is no content.ie5\OT4ROB4F subdirectory, it just ends in temporary internet files, and i can't make a new directory.

    Where is internet tools/view objects?

    Buddy of mine recommended something to me here at school which I'll have to try when I get home. I might have the 'empty temporary internet files folder upon exit' option checked, hmm...

    Look at the toolbar on Internet Explorer. Go to Tools>Internet Options. In the General tab, go to Settings, and then choose View Objects.

    Tried clearing objects and downloading to a different directory. All to no avail <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif'><!--endemo-->

    *bump*
    Still not resolved. I thought the issue was limited to just .zip and .torrent files, but its even happening with media like .avis, its like upon clicking to open a file off the internet rather than clicking to save it somewhere, once its downloaded its not registering as being saved in temporary internet files, and I'm told it can't be found. Whereas if I click to save it somewhere, then it saves to that location and I can double click the file to open. :sigh:

    Torrents, just like avis or isos are NOT limited to warez files. Sheesh. NS 2.0 was distributed by torrent. A lot of demos are distributed by torrent. Sure, people use it for warez too, but that doesn't make it a warez file.

    yea that works, when i use torrents it does something similar(prolly the same), but saving the file and then opening it works.
