Nope. Sorry, but it didn't help: during the download the directory showed the file with the extension ...rpm.part until the last second and then the download window vanished and so did the file. (As you implied, Yast did not start.)
Wait a minute, so yast didn't start, you got the 'what do you want to do' dialog, and you clicked 'save as...', is that right? And then after the download the file just disappeared? No I didn't get 'what do you want to do'. The file simply vanished from the open window. I did hit F5 before I touched anything else.
After a file gets downloaded, it gets renamed so it drops the .part. Are you sure you don't just have to refresh the file browser?
This is what I expected. In fact, I may have imagined it, but I think that I saw a brief flash of a refresh of the file name without the .part just prior to the vanishing. But I can't be sure of this. Against my desire I feel I could wind up my old laptop and download the .rpm with XP. Such a drag! Thanks for trying to help. I think I need to fix my Yast. Can I just use rpm uninstall Yast and then install it again with rpm? Regards, Colin
