Using Edge, I ran a search on"Jeff Dreams DVS." I found a page that 
lists audio tracks for described movies. They appear to be free, but I 
didn't spend a lot of time exploring that side of things.


Anyway, if I just arrow to a movie title and press the 
context/applications key, I do find a Save As link, but pressing enter 
there makes Edge want to save the html page.


However, if I tab to the title and press the context/applications key, 
the Save As link makes Edge want to download the audio file.


So ... navigate to the page by arrowing, using screen search, or trying 
some other method. Then Shift+tab once to move away from the title, and 
finally tab once to return to the title. The context key and Save As 
should work as you expect.

I'm not familiar with this web site, but when I find links on other web sites in Edge, I can just tap the applications key to bring up the context menu. What screen reader are you using and what happens when you hit the applications key or the shift+f10 key combination?

Most likely it will be the downloads folder. After you activate the link, check your downloads folder. Most likely files will be sorted newest to oldest so the movie should be the first file in the list. If you select the download link and the file isn't in your download folder, you may have security enabled in your browser to prevent you from downloading files.

If I press enter on the link it just plays I don't want to play the movie I want to down load it. How do I get to the save link aswhen there is no context menu.  In google chrome I get a message saying that this can't be down loaded securly.  In ie everything works as it should there is the context menu and I can get to the save link as.  Next year when ie gos away I will not be able to down load dvs movies because I can not do it with either chrome or edge.
