body
text frame ends and stop just before that. It may take a few tries to
find
exactly where.

When I right click on a metalink article to try to save it to a local directory and use save target as - it only provides a blank file. What's the easiest way to save these files locally? I want to because sometimes the more useful ones

I think the problem may lie in MetaLink's use of the icky icky frame
