I am having a problem downloading a file using selenium. I had to use selenium to hover over some menus and finally got to the last link which I need to click and reveal 30 zipped files that have a href link. I want to click on each link and download. What libraries do I have to make this available to me? This is my problem:

Need to click the following links:

Corp_sub3_20180107.zip
corp_sub3_20180106.zip 
corp_sub3_20180105.zip

When hovering my mouse over the first corp_sub3, I see this URL pop up in windows explorer:

Upon clicking in selenium, I get a "do you want to open or save dialog" box at the bottom. I'm not able to use selenium to choose the save option for some reason. What options do I have? I can only use internet explorer for this problem.

Thanks

I figured it out. I used pyautogui to click save when the small box appears. So first, I downloaded pyautogui in python3. Then, I got the position of my cursor to point to the save button and captured the coordinate using 

pos = pyautogui.position()

then I used 

pyautogui.click(x=pos[0],y=pos[1]))

and it worked.
