Answer a download prompt
Tell a file you asked for from one you did not, and refuse the second.
A download prompt is your browser asking whether to copy a file onto your machine. Nothing is copied until you answer.
Ask whether you pressed something that ought to hand you a file. If not, the answer is Cancel.
Key points
- A download prompt asks permission before anything is copied to your machine
- A file you did not ask for is one to cancel
What to remember
- A file you did want can be downloaded again.
- If you did not ask for the file, the answer is Cancel.
