In the page http://www.3DGameMan.com, 1. the text is not properly displayed as
it overlaps.  2. when downloading the video reviews, Mozilla's Download manager
attempts to save .wmv video files as text files.  also when clicking on them
directly the text (possibly encoding) of this file is displayed in the browser
window.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.  go to www.3dgameman.com using Mozilla.
2.  select any video review to download
3.  click on it once or right click and save the target as.  

Actual Results:  
a screen of text appeared in the browser window.  or download manager only lets
you save the files as text files. 

Expected Results:  
start download manager and download the files as .wmv files.
> 2.  select any video review to download

What are the exact steps for doing this?  I just looked at a few video card
reviews and had no problem viewing or saving (but they were all HTML pages).
