When ever I try to download things from the website it just skips the part where it usually asks me where to download and starts downloading it. It used to work and works on other sites. When it does finish downloading it just says " could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location." or "could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location." depending of what I'm downloading.

Every time it says a name of a folder that doesn't exist. Would be really great if someone could say how you get it to let you choose where to download.
