To download is to read the file and send it someplace. You should have
no trouble downloading a read-only file.

Folders do not have the read-only property. What you see when you
right-click a folder and chose properties|General is a short cut that
enables you to set or clear the read-only properties for all files in
that folder. When you first see it, it's in its neutral state, neither
checked nor unchecked (it's probably filled with a green block). Click
it once and the box clears, it's now unchecked. Click it again and a
checkmark appears. Click it a third time and it goes back to the
neutral state.

The display really isn't clear enough, and people constantly think
that they're clearing the folder's RO property only to have it come
back again the next time they show Properties|General. It ain't so.

It ain't so. See above.
