[steve]

when i download something as usual i gotta wait however long for the video/song/application but then it comes up saying copying and i gotta somemore for it to finish this can take upto 20 minutes for a big file. is this normal and is there a way of stopping this from happening

When Internet Explorer downloads files no matter where you ask the computer to save them it will place them in a temp directry while it downloads. When the download is done (or 99%) it will move the file to the location where you asked it to be saved. Hense the copying windows appearing, which in return with large files may take awhile.

I think when he said 'windows', he ment Internet Explorer, as Firefox doesn't do this also.
