Topic: how to download?

[newman]

When i tried to download new free 213 version of L. through my torrent (lumion free - customer area - lumion213 Free.torrent), Dashboard.aspx file was loaded on my PC, not .torrent. Where is my mistake?

Hi newman, have you tried right-clicking on the torrent link followed by "Save link as..."?

It seems to work fine in FireFox and in Internet Explorer 9.

Which browser are you using?

FireFox. There was not that problem when i loaded previous version.

Try to right-click + "Save link as..." twice. Does it work the second time?

Thank you
now it is .torrent file and L. files are loading via mtorrent.

Good to hear that.

On a similar note, the links to the installer file (not torrent file) used to be direct i.e. the file ref and you could use a download manager such as FDM to download (never had problems this way). 

But now it seems the link is passed to a backend script and it's now only possible to download directly with the browsers inbuilt downloader, which are sort of OK but not preferred. 

Why the change and limitation, I might as well do the download via torrent (except its slower) and then there can be just the one file link (torrent) and not bother with the other at all.

I don't know.
