I use my cd rw drive (f) all the time to store files (as if it's a giant floppy disk), is it possible to select this drive also for binary boy downloads? I tried it a couple of times but when I power off my computer the pictures disapears.

There's no specific support for CDRW drives, but if you have a driver that allows you to treat it just like any other drive, it should work. Are you saying Binary Boy writes a file to the CDRW successfully and then the file is deleted somehow?

Thanks: I figured out what I've been doing wrong but I'm new at batch downloading and would like to learn how to re-download the files I accidently deleated.

Under the File menu there's a "Master Reset" command that will clear the history. That should allow you to download them again.

If you don't want to clear the history, you can right-click on the file you want and click "Force Download" in the pop-up menu to override the history and other settings.
