Just an info if you use Firefox browser:
Maybe some of you have problems downloading zipped files (rar/zip /7z) with Firefox 63.0.
After downgrade to Firefox 62.0.3 all works fine again.

I used FireFox 63.0 to download Dog and Cat Label DAC-191 .zip file just last night. No problems.

Something else underlying must be going on.

what problems are there?
if the *.zip is blocked,
right click this blocked zip file,
select "unblock"
and the file will be downloaded.

Phew, and I thought it was just me.

FYI I download a we transfer zip/rar file ok. Then if i close firefox the file deletes itself.

However, if I have unzip/unrar the file then ok.

So i have to unpack the file immediately not close firefox and unpack at my leisure.

Might have to go to TOOLS / OPTIONS within Firefox.

That sounds like a setting , the file is being stored in a "temporary" directory.

I would set it to save downloaded files either (a) in your Downloads folder or (b) to "always ask" where to save the files.

Normally you should see a button on the far right side of firefox with 3 horizontal stripes.
(click on the images to get a larger view)
If you click on that one, a drop-down menu shows up.
Choose "options" (see 1st screenshot) and scroll down to "downloads" (2nd screenshot); there you can set the folder you want your downloads to be stored (or you can choose the option "always ask, marked with a "?" on my (second) screenshot).
