Hi Paul,

I'm not sure if previous files have been a zip file but this one is a js file and so if you click on it it's going to display that file.

If you want to save this file you can right-click and then select "Save link as..." or whatever the equivalent is for your browser/os

When it's a zip file you'll get a window that asks you what you want to do with it.

Even faster, after you click and see that it is just the .js file and not a zip, just hit CTRL+S / CMD+S on Mac to save it. This way you won't waste time with the right-clicking when the download becomes a zip file again in future videos.

Good point. If you've already clicked on it then CTRL+S will be faster than going back and then "right click/left click"

However, I think if you hover over the link and see that it's a js file then "right click/ left click" would be faster.

It would be better too if the anchor text for the download link said that it was a js file and not a zip file. Then you would know in advance what you would want to do.

Good point, currently it still says "Zip file" incorrectly.

Yeah, it makes me wonder if it was supposed to be a zip file containing js and html but the js file is there by mistake.

Also, there ceases to be any code download available in the Numbers section.
