Hi Richarj. I'm not sure if this help, but when I've done downloads say from BARD, I have found a button and pressed control option space and it does the download lickity split. In fact, I couldn't believe how fast it did it. Now the only thing was I couldn't figure out how to get up there and find out what the progress was. However, I discovered that if I tried to exit Safari, I was warned about whether i wanted to quit. That happened by accident.
