Click on the 'Save as...' button.
Next a box asking which directory you want to save the file in will appear. For Internet software it is often easier to save the file in the temp directory of your C drive, but you can save software wherever you would like.

The program will now begin downloading. A status window will appear where you can see how much has downloaded at any time. The time it takes to download a file depends on the size of the file and the speed of your modem. Once it has finished downloading you are ready to install it. You will need to use File Manager to find the file you just downloaded. Move to the directory where you saved the file, and then double click the file itself. The program will expand, and you will notice that there are many files in the directory. Double click on the setup.exe file in the directory, and the program will install on your computer.
