when i make downloads and try to install packages it doesn't seem to be there , tried ls for all downloads i did in the past two or three days and they don't exist . can anyone give me a clue of what is going on ? i start the download as always (mozilla) after the fist box show up i choose where i want it to download and wait .... for nothing , when i go to the directory where it was supposed to download i don't see it at all . i guess though , it's happening only with .tar.gz files cause i downloaded ok .dwg files this afternoon . BTW does anyone know how how can i work .dwg on linux ? thanks for your patience ,really.
I think in mozilla the downloads are saved in a temporary file (probably in ~/.mozilla/default/???????/Cache) while being download and only are saved in the location selected by you when the download is complete.
