Go to "b movie reviews".  Try to download a video file and then play it.  It is
not recognized as a video file.  If you download via Opera, the files play fine
so it is not the files themselves but rather how they are being downloaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.badmovies.org/movies/gvsmecha/index.html (for example)
2.Download video clip
3.try to play it.

Actual Results:  
WOn't play.  If downloaded with opera it works fine

Expected Results:  
Nice to be able to play downloaded files

I put it as critical 'cause you lose data (e.g. can't play files downloaded).
Thanks!  A great product in general!

This works for me. Will mark as such unless someone can provide more information.
