     Some users have problems downloading from some sites-- when they
click an item, 'something' starts downloading somewhere but nothing like
a file ever shows up on the hard disk. Try Shift-clicking (or, maybe, in
some cases right-clicking) on an item you want to download and follow
the prompts.

     By the way, there is a version of WS_FTP that works fine on older,
Windows 3.1, PC's. You should be able to find it via cnet.com (go to
download.com).
