Problems with .rar files!
rwills:
Have you tried right-clicking on the .rar file link and then choosing (depending on what is listed in your right-click menu) 'Save Target As' or 'Save Link As'
Chaavik:
If Vista has Windows Explorer, use that browser to open to find the location of your files you downloaded recently. In the left-hand pane, you will see your folders and drives. Find "Documents" (similar to My Documents in XP) and open that folder. You should see a bunch of folders and one of them should be "My Received Files" or similarly named. Open that folder and look inside to see if IE 7 or higher downloaded the files to that folder.
My Downloads (or similarly named folder) is another place to check.
Basically use Windows Explorer to find your temporary folders to find the files you downloaded. The next time you're prompted to download something, change the download location to the desktop so you can easily find your files directly on your desktop and not in a folder somewhere on your hard drive.
I use Fire Fox 3 primarily and IE 8 for other things.
You can learn more about IE7 or 8 by clicking on Help from the menu bar and looking at the topics to learn how to customize your browser to the way you like it.

If you're not sure where to find Explorer, it's under Start?>All Programs>Accessories

Try right clicking a rar file link and chosing "save target as" this will bring upi your present location that saved files for downloads is set to. That should help with locating those files you have already downloaded.

When I right click the .rar file and choose "save target as", I am able to download the file without any problems! I'm not sure what I may have done to change the way .rar files download, but at least I am able to download them now! Thanks for the idea, Razamataz! Thanks to everyone who contributed ideas! I really appreciate it all the help =)
