Trouble dowloading imaages.

I am trying to go through the lesson w/o downloading the images because so far I have not been able to figure out why I can download (see previous questions sent in 12/19.) The problems with the task challenge is there is no reference to an image. Therefore I am assuming you can't complete the task challege w/o the downloads. I am trying to progress while I wait for an answer to my download question so that I can avoid being put on a waitlist. Help, I have tried everything that I can think of.

index.html 
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Nick Pettit</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html">
        <h1>Nick Pettit</h1>
        <h2>Designer</h2>
      </a>
      <nav>
        <ul>
          <li><a href="index.html">Portfolio</a></li>
          <li><a href="about.html">About</a></li>
          <li><a href="contact.html">Contact</a></li>
        </ul>
      </nav>
    </header>
    <section>
      <ul>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-01.jpg"></a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-02.jpg"></a>
        </li>
        <li>
          <a href="img/numbers-06.jpg"></a>
        </li>
      </ul>

Not sure what the specific challenge is but you do not need to download the images to complete the challenge. In your code it looks like you are linking the photos, but I would assume that the exercise is asking you to display them? In that case you will want to use 

  <ul>
        <li>
          <img src="img/numbers-01.jpg">
        </li>

So try switching out the a href to img src="img_url_placed_here.jpg "

A deeper reference for you that may help with images: http://www.w3schools.com/tags/tag_img.asp

Let me know if this works or if the exercise is asking something else.
