How can I stop the automatic downloading of exe files before you see the size of the file?

When I click on a link of file (for example "setup.exe" or "Setup.zip") of a Web site, on what it asks you where I save the file and indicates the size of the file, but the download has already started in the background before I clicked Save. I have a fast enough connection but limited download allowance if the file is large, I'll cancel it, but a few MB can be downloaded until I can stop it. If I use just click on - > "save link as...» ' then he does not start downloading until I click Save but it don't tell me the file size, I also changed settings of early reading, which did not solve the problem.

You will need to use an external Download Manager that supports this feature.

You can use the FlashGot extension to integrate an external Download Manager in Firefox.

  • How can I stop the last post showing when I want to send this person a new Imessage.  I have an Iphone 5s

    How can I stop the last post showing when I want to send this person a new Imessage.  I don't want an old conversation appears constantly when I am a Messenger contact.  I have an Iphone 5s

    I don't know, but let me see if I understand what you're asking. You do not want to see the thread you have with a particular contact when you go to send them another message? The only way to do this is to remove the previous message thread. If you send a message to someone that you already have a thread of conversation with, it will continue to post in this thread. There is no such thing as having multiple threads with the same person. All conversations with the same person would remain in the same thread, unless you remove the previous discussions. If you delete your previous conversation, when you go to start a new conversation, he won't have any of the other answers.

    Hello
    I have two monitors, model S230HLbd. How can I stop the "Splash Screen" to appear please.

    By Splash Screen, I mean the 'Acer' and 'Energy Star' logos that appear when you turn on the screens. I think they slow down the display of what you want to see.

  • How can I stop the virtual keyboard appear gestures?

    Hello

    How can I stop the virtual keyboard to appear coincidentally in my game? There is no reason for the player to use the keyboard for the game, so I want to disable it.

    My current solution is to wait for the NAVIGATOR_KEYBOARD_STATE with the NAVIGATOR_KEYBOARD_OPENING State and by calling virtualkeyboard_hide(). But which causes the keyboard to appear a few pixels down before disappearing again.

    Is there a way of elequent more disable the gesture of virtual keyboard?

    Thank you

    Claudine

    I'm afraid, is not possible. If BlackBerry Advisor does not fix me don't waste your time on this. If a user low blows to the left of the keyboard is displayed regardless of your application.

    I think that perhaps this is the only option, Bob. I couldn't find another way.

    Unfortunately, if you are wearing your headphones and listen to the audio of the film, when you save, you will hear the echo too.

    It's just the way it works and there is no way to stop doing that I know.
