my website works on the web but I want to download the (DW)site to my computer?
but after downloading it the image links are not all there for different file locations. I am keeping everything in place- but for what reason are the links not there. In Dreamweaver I select "source " for the image and have to re-link the image. Any ideas? I have alot of images on the site and don't want to relink all of them- I want to restructure my site into a cleaner file structure. As I said everything on the web works. shouldn't it work if I download the file structure in tack?

Two things could be happening:
1. You have your images setup to use image sources as urls like this:
<img src="http://yoursite.com/image.jpg%22 />
so when you download your site, your computer is trying to find an image based on a web address and not in the folder you have the images in. Because it can't find the image, nothing appears until you tell it where the image really is on your hard drive.
2. You have your images using the '/' as a root to your site, so your source urls look like this:
<img src="/directory/image.jpg" /> (for an image at http://yoursite.com/directory/image.jpg)
If you don't have the same folder structure on your hard drive, again when you download your site it's looking to find your images in the wrong place, but this time it's the wrong folder structure.

Give us a link to the site.
If you d/l this site via FTP, it should work the same as it does on the web.
