NetPositive: one-click download/expand

This tip is valid for: Both BeOS and Haiku

Make downloading zip, expander or whatever files via Net+ 2.0 a breeze by specifiying a download directory in your preferences. Then, when you click a download link, you don’t have to deal with the Save dialog box. To make life even easier, set your Expander prefernces (and Software Valet) so it will automatically expand files once they are downloaded. One click, and moments later the program you wanted is downloaded, expanded and ready to go.
