Downloading files with IE

Hi,
There's the following issue with downloads in IE. By auto-focus Cancel
button gets active when downloading a file. If a user accidentally presses
enter the download will be canceled with no confirmation asked or resume
option avalible. It would be great to be at least asked as it may get really
disapointing after downloading a 5GB file and in last 200MB hitting Enter by
accident.

Thanks

You don't think it makes more sense to teach your lusers not to hit
Enter when they're not supposed to be doing that?

Using a download manager helps to mitigate the "bash keys, HULK BASH!"
syndrome. It's also more resilient to network connectivity issues, and a
whole host of other potential problems. There are plenty around, I'll leave
it as an exercise for the reader to find some
