User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.3b) Gecko/20021227

Well, the problem is if you click the 'Download Now' link in IE6 it will see it
as a downloadable file. Mozilla just reads it as a text file. I'm not quite sure
why it does this, I first assumed it had something to do with me disabling
JavaScript from opening unrequested windows but that changed nothing.

Also if you right-click the link & 'Save Link Target As' it, it wants to save
the file named as 'download.php' as a text file.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Goto http://www.divx.com/skins/detail.php?id=90
2. Click on the link labeled 'Download Now'.
Actual Results:  
Mozilla will show the link data as text.

Expected Results:  
Try to download the file.

I don't really have any odd configurations on my system or browser. Just running
Windows 2000 Pro (w/all the latest patches, and nightly Mozilla build), 1 GHz
pIII, 256 megs SDRAM.

Bad web site, it gives the downloadable content as text/plain, should give as
application/octet-stream.
