I have a Power Mac G4 running Jaguar. I seem to have a problem downloading from certain sites. When I click on the download it does not start. To overcome this problem I download from my Windows machine to the Mac. That works. But I would rather not have to go through the Win side to download a mac file. Auto Update works fine. Hope someone can help with this.
 
Which sites? Have you tried the "right click", meaning the option click? Or doing a cntrl-click and hitting Save As ...

Also, which browser?
 
No have not used those. I will give it a try. The site that is giving me difficulty is Konfabulator and one other is Portraits and Prints. Browser is Safari
 
You said it's the case for "certain" sites. I had a guess that the files you download end up in another folder than you expect. Open the download manager from safari using apple+option+L. Can you see the downloads in the list? And as Randman said: try option-clicking the link and save as.. Do you have the internet explorer for mac? If so, try there.
 
Also, if you click on download, what happens? Have you tried clicking on it, then if nothing happens, clicking back on it. Also, in Safari, open your Downloads window and see what it says, if anything.
 
Will do. I am at work right now and the Mac is at home. I will try all of these things when I get off. Standby and if you can think of any thing else let me know.
