Download - super newbie question.

Probably the easiest question to answer in existence, but where is the download button located when you see something that you like?

In the "File(s):" section, under the preview and description, just before the comment window.
Used that before and it leads me to a page where it plays it, but since found the save video command. Thanks very much though!
Strange. Which art where you looking at?
Maybe your browser is configured to automatically open links of a specific type in the browser.
Was it a .ogg or .mp3 file by any chance?
In which case, you might be able to save it directly by right-clicking on it and then "Save linked file as..." or something similar.
I was originally wondering if that was the case (and yes, it was a .ogg file (I am using Mozilla Firefox)). I would usually notice, but I'm just not with it.Thanks for the help, though.
We really need these download buttons: http://opengameart.org/content/upcoming-ui-changes-on-opengameartorg XD
Somehow I doubt deliberately misleading download buttons would help. ;)
(In all seriousness, they wouldn't fix this issue anyway -- browsers play audio files automatically when you click them. You have to right click on them to save. A download button wouldn't change that.)
I'm having the same problem with chrome and firefox both, neither will download the file. It's an .ogg, and it doesn't give me an option to download linked file when I right click on it.
HINT: If the file started playing use ctrl+S to download & save it to HDD.
I couldn't solve this issue at my site, but I've read it can be solved by sending "incorrect" MIME data attachments (so that browser would not recognize the file as 'music'). However, it works only for streaming files, not for direct download links.
The HTML5 anchor (<A> element) download attribute can solve this.
eg:
<a href="oga.ogg" download>Download OGA.ogg</a>
I tried <a href="http://opengameart.org/sites/default/files/Collapse.wav" type="audio/x-wav; length=56710776" data-fid="70331" target="_blank" download>Collapse.wav</a> and it worked for me as expected.

Thanks. This is now fixed.
