This is onestep beyond what I have ever tried. I looked at the applications for Netscape and a .acf and a .acs do not exist. Obviously they are being handled differently. Have you tried using a real ftp address to the file instead of http. I have encountered a lot of sites that force the download that way. I tried ftp://www.eoe... but it said the file didn't exist. So, I don't have the proper link for ftp.
