Can you maybe change the Download button to just Load, since that's what it's really doing? It made me hesitant to "download" some of the stuff before because I thought it was going to download them and I don't have the time, space, or speed to do so. I'm sure this will help some other people. Or...is it only loading in my browser?

It is that way with my browser too.

All it is is a link to the file. If it's an image, your web browser will display it since it knows what it is. If it's an mp3, your browser will probably ask where you want to save it. So, maybe "download/view", but that's too long... meh, just get used to it. :P

So...what's wrong with "Load"?

because not all of us do in fact load files. The only file that loaded instead of downloaded for me was Morpheus' promo. Everything else asks me where I want to save it. It's obviously not the same for everyone. BTW mystik are you on an always on connection?

I'm on cable broadband, yes, but that's not really the point. I say load because of just what you said, it "loaded" one thing and "downloaded" the other, so it's kinda random depending on whether or not you are in control of your browser's settings or not =).

oh ok. I wasn't sure if detected a connection speed and determined what the best course of action would be. (or something) If that were the case though then it would have prompted me for a d/l of the promo. hmmm ah well a nice theory anyway. ;) I'll be getting cable broadband one of these days....just as soon as my friggin cable company upgrades! We can get digital cable, but we can't get broadband yet...I guess that means that it'll be soon if they have digital cable going. (Comcast? Please buy out Service Electric Cablevision! NOW!!!!!!) Right so anyway...
