This just started after I got Cable Internet, and now whenever I download a file, I specify which directory I want it downloaded to, and it then (without me knowing until the end) downloads to the "Temporary internet files" directory, and THEN copies it to the directory I wanted it downloaded to. The reason this bothers me is because sometimes I might download to a zip disk, or to a floppy, and it takes a long time. Any solutions?

The reason for this temp location, is so that if you were to say quit the download part way through, you can simply go back to the location of the downloaded and resume, without having to restart from the beginning. Especially …
