hey there,

sometimes when i surf around download sites eg rpmfind.net i found out that some
links actually displays the source codes instead of asking of the "save to disk"
option. It's only after i right-click and "save link as" am i able to download
the binary files, it's getting on my nerves esp when it slip my mind and i have
to click back to redo the whole download process. It wasn't like that in
mozilla0.8(version i was using previously). Hopefully this is an over-look on
your programmers part and not a bug. BTW, i must comment that u guys have done a
excellent job up to now.

cheers
kenny

disk" option

Actual Results:  Printed all the binary code on the browser

This is a dupe of bug 80557.
(he "Set Default..." dialogue after clicking a file link should include the
option to "Save to Disk".)

I can't reproduce this with build 2001-06-15-21 on Linux.  I get a downloading
dialog for application/octet-stream.

Possibly some plugin or association with an unzip/etc program?
