Step 2: Download a File with Netscape

Each program in the library occupies its own page where we provide a description of the program, its rating, size, and system requirements. This is what those pages look like. The Download button is on the right side of the page, and that is where you would ordinarily click to begin downloading.

However, to begin downloading ZDNet's Gates Does Windows 95 for this tutorial, you will click on the large download button below. Now go ahead and click here to download ZDNet's Gates Does Windows 95.

If Netscape shows you a message titled "Unknown File Type," click on "Save File."

In any case, when the familiar "Save As" window appears, use it to move to the C:\download folder and click "Save."

Watch and wait until the file has finished downloading.
