Trying to download a .tgz file without changing format

I need to download a file with a .tgz extension, and keep it in this format once it's on my Mac, so I can transfer it to somewhere else. But when I download it, my Mac changes it to a .tar file.
Is there a way to force it to download as a .tgz file, or is there a way to change it back from a .tar file to a .tgz file?

Hi Charlie,
what browser do you use? In Firefox and Seamonkey you can right-click the link and select "Save link target" from the pop-up menu.

If you want a H.264.mp4 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second export as the match for your source video with those properties, then you use
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = Vimeo HD which will give you 1280 x 720 @ 29.97 progressive frames per second.
or
Publish+Share
Computer
AVCHD
with Presets = MP4 HD720p24 and the hit the Advanced Button/then Video Tab to customize the preset to MP4 HD720p29.97.
After you hit the Advanced Tab/and the Video Tab and put in your settings, the Advanced Export setting should look like
Note: Click on the Chain link in the box to the right of Frame Width and Frame Height so that you can type in your 1280 and 720.
Do not hit Match Source. Put the values in yourself.
One of the major factors that we need in all this is the bitrate value of the original. We want to make sure that the bitrate of original
and export as the same or with the bitrate of the export being higher than the original. More on that later.
Please let me know if you are following me in the details so far. If not, please do not hesitate to tell me where you need clarfication.
Thanks.

A blank page comes up when trying to download the .torrent file(s). Previously it was working.

Using firefox browser v.4.0.1, a blank page comes up when trying to download the .torrent file(s). Previously it was working. When the "Download" button was pressed, it used to ask for the location where the .torrent files is to be saved. But now on pressing the "Download" button, a blank page comes up.I do not know when the firefox browser was updated to 4.0.1. (as it is configured to automatically update itself). I tried to see the debugging information in "Java Console", "Error Console", "Web Console", "Page Info" under the Tools option, but I can't make sense out of it. Kindly help.

If you remove the mimeTypes.rdf file then all current download actions should be removed and Firefox should ask what to do.<br />
You can still check if there is an action for such files in Tools > Options > Applications
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/File_types_and_download_actions
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My iTunes is no longer working. I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program won't open and run. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening and I think something has been deleted that I need to open the iTunes. How do i figure out what is gone

I uninstalled and reinstalled but the program still won't open. I was trying to download an mp3 file last evening. Instead the site tried to install a new audio player. I did not want it so uninstalled it immediately. I think in that process something was deleted that I need for iTunes but I do not know what. How do i figure out what is gone and recover it?
I did try a system restore - but that was not a fix either.

Ackk ... that behavior is consistent with the play_mp3.exe trojan:

Try downloading and installing the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware. Update your MBAM definitions and then run a full scan of the PC. (Takes about 2 hour on my Lenovo.)

Does the scan find any infections? If so, please paste the contents of the log file for the scan in a reply here so we can have a look.

windows vista system, continuously trying to download a DRM file in Adobe Digital Editions application shows "Error check activation". I have authorized the Fire Wall and still the same.

Since Re-activation as suggested by the link above is not working for you, Can you please confirm the following:
The OperatorURL is reachable. ( you can find the operatorURL from the acsm file by opening it in notepad,etc)
And Book is still available on the book-store for purchase.
(If any of first two are not available, you might have to talk to distributor for next action item to get the book. Since you will have record of purchasing the book, (in my opinion) they should provide you the new token for downloading the book)
And please confirm this that you used the same userID for downloading that you used when you first fulfilled/downloaded the book.
(If it is the case, then you have to use the correct userID)
I hope it helps.

Trying to download some adobe files, but find that safari doesn't do it. Any ideas??

Trying to download some adobe files, but find that safari doesn't do it. Any ideas??

If you are trying to download flash player then you can't - it's not supported and probably never will be (http://www.apple.com/hotnews/thoughts-on-flash/ and Adobe have failed to create a version that works on iOS), and you can't download extensions/plug-ins via Safari anyway (you can only install what is available in the App Store).
The Skyfire, iSwifter, and Puffin browsers work on some flash-based sites (but not judging by their reviews), or you could look to see if the sites have their own apps in the store.

Bluegrassbarry you can download and install Illustrator CS6 from Download CS6 products. Do you currently have a Creative Cloud Membership?

I have a 2013 iMac, with OS X version 10.8.5. Have been trying to download OS X version 10.9 (OS X Mavericks) without success; error message "we could not complete your purchase, the product distribution file could not be verified, etc". Please help; TQ

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Download ZIP file without changing file extension

I regularly download a zipped csv file, of the format: "filename.csv.gz". As the name does not change, Firefox adds a digit to distinguish it, so for example I get "filename.csv-3.gz". This is a pain as it changes the file extension which means that I cannot open the extracted file without first renaming it. I want to keep an archive of all the files, so deleting them each time isn't really an option, and neither is moving them to a different location each time. Is there any way the naming convention for downloads can be changed?

I think you have to disable it in your Operating system:

New download of keynote files when changing wifi network with iPad

When i change the Wifi Network with my ipad3 (without 3G) it always starts to download the keynote, numbers and pages files from the iCloud. You can't open any file until its downloaded again, you just see the Folder and the file as a placeholder.
In my opinion this Akers totally no sense. I expect a synchronization between iPad and the iCloud like it woks with mail, kalender. Even dropbox just downloads the file you select for use. In my case I have 64 files only in keynote, created on the iPad and eaven without changing something it will re download all files from the iCloud before I can use them.
Anybodydid the same experience ?
Is this a bug or a really shh.... Feature?

No that's not my experience, it's clearly not working as it should. Perhaps you should restore your iPad.

Download Helper - How to download & save .wmv files WITHOUT the video being downloaded playing on screen?

Windows 7 Pro
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player and VLC are installed
When I download a video file (typically .wmv) the video begins playing on the monitor screen prior to my being able to use Download Helper to download the video and save to the hard drive. This typically results in the video stopping and playing and stopping throughout the download process because of the download speed available. There is never any issue with the final download on the hard drive.
Today I installed latest version of Firefox and Download Helper on another computer.
Windows 7
Latest Version of Firefox
Latest Version of Download Helper
Windows Media Player (only) is installed
Downloaded the same .wmv file downloaded above and the video did NOT begin playing on the monitor screen. Download Helper allowed me to download the file to the hard drive WITHOUT constantly listening to the video start/stop/start/stop etc.
What option (in which program) would allow the playing of the video to be toggled on or off while downloading the .wmv file?
Thank you.

Once the download has started, you can go to another web page. The
download should be a separate function.
