If you just want to download material to put on the Linux partition, you can download it in Windows and leave it in a folder on your desktop. Then boot into Linux and do: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt (if Windows is on /dev/hda1) cd /mnt/windows/desktop/ ls (You will see what is on your desktop) You can copy the whole folder over to Linux. If you do this as user, it will end up in a folder by the same name in /home/<username>: cp -a <folder-name> ~/ umount /mnt You may want to do more than this, like mail and so on, but if you just want to download, this will work.
