Downloads Downloading But Not Saving
May 16th, 2009 | 
Author: I hate wasting time and today I spent three hours looking for an answer as to why all of a sudden, just from last night, downloads seemed to be downloading, but they were not saved to the location I specified. They weren’t saving in any location. This was in both Firefox and IE.
I can tell you after the first 10 Google searches and having read through about 100 pages that were not really relevant, I was REAL mad. I did however, finally, find a page that sorted the problem … http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Unable+To+Download+Or+Save+Files, specifically this part … http://support.mozilla.com/ca/kb/Unable+To+Download+Or+Save+Files#Disable_virus_scanning_in_Firefox_preferences
It solved the problem in Firefox, but not in IE.
I am using AVG and had not had any problems up until last night. I don’t know if it is due to AVG or something else.
I decided to provide the fix for everyone here as it is a pain to find the right information or even something that is relevant to now. I spent a half hour looking for a file that is not included anymore in Firefox 3.0.
Anyway, I now have to scan all my files by hand before I extract or install them, but at least they are downloading.
Have you ever come accross this issue? How did you solve it? Share your fixes here.

I Want To Learn About Link Building
John signed up at IMMembership.com yesterday and said he wanted to know more about link building, so I decided to answer him as fully as I can today.
Firstly before any sort of link building is done you need to have a website with content. This can also be an affiliate link redirect, but I would always use some form of content.
Now this man John used an e-mail that was from a domain he owned, so I went along to have a look. I wanted to see if I could get some background on him, but the site is just a fresh wordpress installation. I had a look using the way back machine as the domain is well over 4 years old, but there is nothing but a holding page to see.
There is something holding this man back from building a site and in most cases this is either that the person is chasing the next ‘greatest thing’ or they are worrying over building the best site in the world.
START TODAY. Get something up on the site, even if it a ‘I don’t know where to start, but I will’ kind of thing 
Now once you have something on your site you can start building links. Below is a list of how to do build links, in no particular order. You will no doubt have seen this list before, but if you don’t do them you will not get backlinks. People always seem to think there is something missing and 99.9% of the tilme there is … they do not take action.
1) Social bookmarking - use a keyword rich title, description and as many tags/keywords as you can. Varying your title and description will help too.
2) Article Marketing - Completely unique articles will do the best, but If you are no good at writing you can just write one unique article and spin/re-write it to be about 40% unique (although the more unique the better) and submit it to the article directories. You can check the uniqueness for free at Dupecop.
3) Submit your RSS feed to the RSS Directories - if you have a html or php or asp site and are not using a blogging platform like wordpress that gives you a feed automatically visit Dapper.net and get an rss feed.
4) Trackback - this is only relevant to wordpress users, but if you link to another wordpress users blog post and they have trackbacks enabled they will see the post you made the next time they log into their dashboard and can approve or not approve it like a comment. Most people approve these trackbacks giving you a relevant backlink.
Now this list of 4 ways is not in any way exhaustive. You can also comment on other people’s blogs and post in forums with a link in your signature to your site. Like I have said more than once the most important thing is to start and once you have a few links in forums and on other people’s blogs and in the social sites other people will start to link to you too, if your content is worth linking to of course
A great example is at the end of this post there is a link with the title ‘Related articles by Zemanta’. Zemanta is a firefox add on that integrates with your wordpress dashboard. It might integrate with blogger too, I’m not sure. Anyway the link below was a suggestion from them on related content to what I am writing about in this post. Now the guy who wrote the article on the link missed out any links to his website in his article which completely defeats the object of article writing, but it still proves my point. People CAN and WILL find your website and use your content if you put it out there.
So get to it. Create 10 links to your site every day in the hope to get 4 and after a month you could have as many as 300 backlinks meaning you would beat most of your competition out of the water.
Let me know what you do to get backlinks or if you have had success doing the above. I love to hear from you.

The Best Mozilla Firefox BackUp Tool
Image from Wikipedia
I haven’t written for a few days because I have been backing up my laptop in order to put it back to factory settings because it was doing some very strange things. It has now been completed and believe it or not one of my biggest worries was that I would loose all my internet browsing history and passwords. I know how to back up my bookmarks and although I would have been upset to loose them the history and passwords, to me, is worth much more.
I use Mozilla Firefox because I love all the add ons and customisation options. After a short search on good old Google I found an add on to back up my user profile, but after reading the reviews it seemed that many had issues, but someone mentioned MozBackup (you can read about it here) working perfectly first time so I downloaded both and made a backup using both.
Now that my laptop is fully restored, the first thing I wanted to do was to get my history back, so I crossed my fingers and ran through MozBackup … it worked Yes, it worked first time without any issues and everything was restored in one go; history, passwords, bookmarks, cookies (if you choose them), options and add ons. The only issue I had was that it did not keep my rss feeds in the rss feed reader that you can add on, but that was fine as I had made a separate back up of them just in case. Just by having my history and passwords all in order I can forgive that very very small shortcoming.
I therefore recommend everyone to use Mozilla Firefox and to download MozBackup and make regular back ups of your user profile. That way if anything bad happens you can restore it all in just a few clicks.
If you do not yet have Mozilla Forefox, in my opinion the best browser around today, you can download it for free by clicking on the button on the top right hand navigation menu.
