What you saw is correct, and I filed a report on this some time ago. This showed up for me first when downloading notebooks for the free Wolfram seminars. Their response was to zip all these files, which will ensure that the file is downloaded. This could be a work-around until the problem is solved. I agree that it is not user-friendly -- mostly a wast of time to load the file in the browser when all you want it to save it. george On Apr 8, 2011, at 4:12 AM, Thomas Muench wrote: > Dear group, > > There is a strange behavior (correct, but not user-friendly in my opinion) > when one has the new Mathematica browser plugin installed, and wants to > download example notebooks from the Wolfram Library Archive. > See for example here: http://library.wolfram.com/infocenter/Courseware/7800/ > > When one clicks on the link to download the .nb file, the file will open in > the browser plugin, not with the Mathematica application itself.
