I select "Always ask me where to save files" radio button in Options menu. And when I download something, I notice that transferring is started before I press save button on "Save as" dialog. Is there any way to prevent the pre-caching before pressing save button?

Thanks

Are you having any particular problems with downloads being started before you select a specific location for the "final resting place" for the download?
