Server sez:

  Content-Type: text/plain

Evang.  Sourceforge needs to turn off this Apache "feature".

True, but doesn't Mozilla check for some known extentions, e.g., EXE, PDF, tgz,
etc for downloading?

If you just click on a link?  Absolutely not.  We go with what the server says
the file is, as we're supposed to.
