I use dolphin browser and my files save to sdcard/DownloaD, but thats on the a500. Where you trying to save the files to on your a500, which directory? Sounds like you may be trying to save to a directory that you only have read rights to.

well im sticking the micro usb in the tablet sticking the other end in the pc opening the usb on the tab and clicking the explore folders, this works fine, but if im on chrome with the pc and try to download direct to the tab's main storage through usb (with the music and android folders) it says im not allowed?

I was having issues saving ditectly to my interal and external storage after I re-installed win 7 the other day and prior to that had no issues. For whatever reason win 7 didn't install the drivers and device manager said driver wasn't installed, but it was recognized as a500 there. I downloaded the usb driver from acer support and now works. I'd try installing the first one listed here, which is also the larger one Acer Support: Downloads & Support Documents - Tablet / ICONIA TAB / A500 then plug your a500 in and try again.

I was reading somewhere acer uses some copy protocol that is slow as molasses.
