Both Opera and wget are great ideas. I'll give both a try now.

Often images are in a webpage and I'd do a view image or save as in firefox. The only way I can figure out how to get a URL for an image using browers is to CTRL-u and sift through the source.

An alternate approach is to use the tool 'wget' to download your image<br>in the terminal, e.g.:<br><br> wget -O my.jpg <a href="http://some.where/some.jpg" target="_blank">http://some.where/some.jpg</a><br> wget
<a href="http://some.other/file.jpg" target="_blank">http://some.other/file.jpg</a><br><br>would produce 'my.jpg' and 'file.jpg' in the current directory.<br><font color="#888888"><br>Michael<br></font><div>

<br>><br>><br>> You may be able to enter the direct URL of the image you want to save, but I have not attempted this with the Browse activity.<br>><br>> Opera (<a href="http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Opera" target="_blank">
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Opera</a>) is what I've been using, and it seems to work pretty well! You have to install it and run it in Terminal. Things you need to know:<br>><br>> Opera-activity on that page doesn't work right now.
<br>> When you download something in the Browse activity, it goes into the Journal and in /home/olpc/.sugar/default/datastore/store as a funky filename. Match up the date and filesize, 'cp' it to your /home/olpc directory, and then erase it from the Journal.
