[SOLVED] Can't download anything through browser

Hey hey all. Okay, so, I'm pretty much set on keeping Arch now. Some info on my system:

- LXDE
- i686 on an Intel Core2Duo machine
- Everything's updated
- Firefox/Gran Paradiso browser

Now, the problem: quite literally, nothing downloads. I was on box-look trying to pick up some new OpenBox themes, and when I clicked on a download link, it asked me "open or save", but then the file didn't download. So I went to DeviantArt. Same deal. No links I click on through my browser will download. What gives?

EDIT: sorry, I'm an idiot. Somehow, when I created the folder, the permissions were screwy. I had copied my Downloads folder from an external HD and for some reason it gave full permissions for everything except "write" for the folder owner. My bad, guys.
