I have a weird problem.
When I try to download a compressed file like a .dmg, .zip or .rar, my browser refuses to prompt me with a download window. Instead it will try to display the binary data in the browser. This is true for all the browsers I have used including Safari, Firefox and Camino. My workaround has been right clicking on the link and using Safari's command to "download linked file". This works most of the time, but will also fall over if a site uses more complex php scripts to route the download.
I have downloaded every conceivable piece of software that allows you to reconfigure MIME types, but I can't seem to set up my MIME types to allow me to just download the file via the save prompt. The problem seems to be with the x-apple-diskimage MIME type - but whatever I've tried to do, it won't fix it.
Can someone help me with this irritating problem?
I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on an INTEL Macbook Pro
Thanks
