or Cheat File, press and hold the left mouse button and “drag” the file from the Internet Panel into  
the location where you wish to save it.  
TOP TIP  
Download the files to your PC first as this will mean that any Save Descriptions or extra file  
information will stay intact; you can always copy it to your PS2 Memory Card later. And this will  
also mean you will always have a backup on your PC.

whilst selecting the files you want to download. All the files will be highlighted. Now simply hold  
the mouse button down whilst the cursor is over one of your highlighted files to ‘Drag’ them where  
you want.
