Soundtrack frustration - Mac users, help, help, help

Mac users -- HEEEEEEELLLLLLP!

I'm trying to download music files from RapidShare and Yousendit, and while one of the songs downloaded correctly, the rest of them are now just streaming. They'll play, I can save the link, but that's not what I want. I need to download the entire file.

Hunh? Wha-? I'm generally a PC user and this whole "digital music" miasma is new to me anyways.

Are there some settings that I need to change, somewhere, somehow so the file will download and not stream?

You might be able to change things in the prefs. For example, in Firefox, in the prefs, under Downloads, you can specify how the browser handles various file types.

This might help more, though:

I think I shall blog about these, as they are very useful.\

I never thought I'd have another reason to use my Steve Jobs icon...

I was able to get the files in prefs to download to the right file, but for some reason the darned thing kept defaulting to this Quick Time plug-in. So I have to figure out how to disable the plug-in, or at least make it so it's not the default.
