Safari could not download the file

How do I download these files?? I would like to open Window Media Viewer files. So as a secondary question, is there a program for Macs better suited to open and view. Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

Answer: A: Answer: A: Mac OS X can open pdf files fine without Adobe's bloatware, they open by default in TextEdit - the whole of OS X's display system is actually based around pdf technology so it's easy for the system to integrate pdf tools. There are alternative tools available on MacUpdate but for reading TextEdit is fine.

For Stuffit files which are thankfully much rarer these days I'd use The Unarchiver instead of Allume's fat cat. To fix the other problem you could try changing your download location in Safari preferences, General - it may be that the location you are downloading to has the problem.

My inability to download files was my biggest, most pressing problem and your suggestion resolved the problem instantly. Instead of having Safari download to the Desktop I created a new folder within my Home folder and now files download to the new folder without issue. Posted on Feb 21, PM.
