I'm trying to download a movie from a site (I have QT Pro) but when I click save, it says that my destination disk may be full (or something like that). I know this isn't the case obviously, and it's some sort of protection to stop the downloading I guess. Anyone know of a workaround for it?

Let the movie load in full. If you're using Explorer, it caches to System Folder : Preferences : Explorer : Temporary Files : It gets purged at the end of your session, so make sure to move it out of that folder before quitting Explorer.

BTW, this should have been posted under Internet Software, not Web Developer. This forum relates to designing and building web sites, web apps, etc. Just for future reference

Yeah you're right - I don't venture into these forums too often. I just thought if it was some sort of block to protect the movie from being downloaded, then a "web developer" here might be able to help me with the workaround. I'll try the tip - thanks!
