I have two things going with IE9+, both related to downloads. I'll mention the problem first.
IE9+ apparently downloads similar to how FireFox downloads, in that it downloads straight to the location that you're looking to save the file, but as a '.part' file (or something along that line) until it's finished, at which point, it renames the file and completes the download. The problem I've been having since IE9 came out and still see with IE11 is with downloading to my 'special folders' (Downloads, Favorites, etc) which are redirected to a network location. Downloads using IE9+ will randomly fail for no apparent reason - except the download didn't actually fail - It'll get the whole download, then for whatever reason, be unable to rename it (I Assume) because the '.part' file is there and complete, and removing everything after the proper extension results in a proper and fully functional file. As much as I dislike Firefox, I've never had anything even close happen downloading to the same locations. Any thoughts as to why one download will 'fail' but another to the same place will be fine, and Firefox has never had this issue?
My other issue is with the download prompts. When downloading zip files, I get the prompt inserted below. Pretty much everything else prompts using a stupid bar along the bottom of the page - I LOATHE that stupid bar. How can I make *everything* prompt the same way I get prompted for zip files? Since it obviously works **RIGHT** for zip files, there has got to be a way to make it work the same for all file types. This issue along with the random 'failures' above are why I absolutely REFUSE to downgrade from IE8 to 9+ on any machine that I have a choice on, and use FireFox under protest everywhere else. IE8 was the last decent IE Browser.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Thanks
