Thanx for replying.

Seems like the ONLY file type i have prob with is one with ".ZIP" extension
(and most of the files I download are of this file extention).

Actually, the last version (IE7) I used also have met same prob. i have
posted the question twice and nobody even able to attempt to answer it (you
can do a search on my previous questions). And in IE8, this ZIP file download
just got weirder...Has anybody has this zip file download prob???? Just a
side note, I had no prob with downloading zip file before IE7, however.

Is it because IE simply can't handle downloading ZIP file types?

It's like Jack Nicholson says to IE (played by Tom Cruise). You want zip
files? You can't handle the zip file!!!

Cheers,

L&L
