Yeah, annoyingly the built in browser will only download files it knows how to run (sis, txt, zip etc). You can't just download something for use later. Opera Mobile lets you download anything but it's not free and Opera mini doesn't allow downloads at all becasue it's java-based.
I use opera mobile for this exact reason, it makes for a completely PC-less torrent solution 😊

thanks great info. might be worth annoying nokia about it for anin the future

Yeah, the recent update has improved the browser a lot. If nokia could resolve my last two issues, I would happily ditch third party browsers.
1. Let me download anything, even if you don't recognise the type
2. FlashLite 3 integration

Surely no. 2 will be sorted in the next phones? I thought the N82 had it in?

3. Let me HIGHLIGHT TEXT on websites and use it!!! Instead of switching applications continuosly to dial a number from a website!
