[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

probably wrong mimetype on the host. yell at them to fix their server.

Comment 2

[Jaime Mitchell (use [e-mail] for email)]

The server sends content "text/html" so this should be moved to Tech-Evan or
marked Invalid.

Comment 3

[Ludovic Hirlimann [:Usul]]

We do not intend to tell all servers to fix  the mime type for .dmgs.

[Smokey Ardisson (offline for a while; not following bugs - do not email)]

Reporter, you should report to the developer that the server is sending the
wrong MIME type (I got text/plain, actually) for .dmg files.
