Downloading

Today we are going to learn how to download something from a web page.  First of all, we are going to need someplace to store our downloads until we need them.  So, I made a folder in "My Documents" called Downloads.  Everything that I download goes into this folder.  I have Windows XP on my computer, so if your files look different from mine, that is OK, they all work the same.

When I find something that I want to download, I just click on the link, which usually looks like this:

Sometimes it is just the word here, which is underlined and linked to whatever you want to download.  For this tut, I am using the big-fonts.zip, which I got from Designs by Joy.

OK, so I have made my Downloads folder, and I have found my link, and I have clicked on it.  Next there pops up this message:

When I click on the Save button, this box pops up asking me Where I want to save it.

I search my files until I find my downloads folder and click on it.  When it comes up,  the big-fonts.zip name is already in the box.  I can change that name if I want, but just remember what name it is changed to.  Then click on Save.

When I get ready to use the file, I know it is in my Downloads Folder, so I go there to retreive it.

Click on the Downloads folder and it will open showing everything that is in that folder.

I click on it, and since it is a zipped file, I will need to UnZip it.

Now, go to my WinZip Tutorial.
