I'm trying to download some game and something happened that made my pc restart, prolly a update or something but regardless, the download was about 50% and now i try to re download and it says....
C:\Users\Marc\Downloads\LeagueofLegends.exe could not be saved, because you cannot change the contents of that folder.

Change the folder properties and try again, or try saving in a different location.

Also tried deleting partial folder but didnt work and i tried moving it to a new folder and also didnt work. HELP!!!!!!!!

Set your security setting under the Properties Window -> Security so that you have full control over the folder, If you do not have Administrative Powers on your computer, ask you Computer administrator to do it for you.

Right click on the folder name - then choose properties.



also grasping at straws, you might want to try deleting any files inside the folder first
