Problem with download, quiting OmniWeb

"It's not a feature, it's an annoyance."
First of all, I liked the new option in OmniWeb for the download  
directory.  But, if you download  a file, that file should not be  
deleted once you quit OmniWeb.  All those tmp files I have now  
problem with, but I do have a problem with choosing the directory I  
want to place an ftp'ed file, and then having that file disappear  
right when I close my ppp connection and quit OmniWeb.  This is a  
problem that was not in any of the earlier releases (as far as I  
could tell).  These ftp download files get deleted, no matter where  
I drop them from the save panel.

Other than that, the 800 number to Lighthouse didn't let me pay for  
a licensed copy, they gave me a name of someone else to talk with.   
Maybe it was too early out in California, I don't know.  But I  
would like to give my support of  well made product with a bit of  
financial backing.
