Same here. A windows opens with the file to be extracted and an Extract button. If you extract, it asks where and the file appears there. But what if you don't extract? Where does the file go? That's my question. It seems to disappear. That's why I asked if it is downloaded to memory. > So, on my system I am first asked if I want to open it with "Ark". If I pick "Save" from that dialog it will go to ~/Download. Yes, there is a "Save as" option. So? Until then, the file has been downloaded to memory only? Isn't being asked where to save a file *after* download rather unusual? > Of course the tar file is not installed automatically.
