Hey guys

I'm having problems, I'm trying to download a file off your site, but when i click the link, the file opens, instead of asking me where to save it

i cant right click -> save as because the link points to index.php so i cant get the file at the moment

there's probably a problem with the mime types

I think it's with the naming conventions or something, cause instead of putting up the actual file name it puts up a dynamic url to it.

http://rcbot.bots-united.com/forums/index....pe=post&id=5861

should be like /forums/files/waypoints.zip or something

But, if you go ahead and right click it, click save as, and rename "index.php.html" or whatever to like "spoot.zip" it should work fine. It gives you a bogus name but the data's still there.

[edit]

just tried it with IE, and it seemed to work.. better... so it may be some javascript problem with IPB and FF, cause FF's javascript implementation sucks.
