Yesterday, I downloaded a publishing template from createspace.com. I worked in the template all day. I did not save it to my computer, because I figured it would be in my download folder, but today when I tried to find it there, it was not there. This is not the first time that a download is missing from the downloads file. Am I doing anything wrong?

hello suwaneesid, you may have selected to open (instead of save) the file which will download it into windows temporary folder & opened with an associate program, but where it gets deleted again after it has been used.
