Can't Download from DBF

Pot Noodle · November 14, 2011

Hi guys anyone having probs downloading from here? it's strange I am using Firefox 8.0 and every time I click on a .rar file
the download requester pops up asking me if I want to run or save "Index.php", I have tryed other sites but it seams ok with them, thanks for any ideas.

Apparently there's a bug in Firefox 8 that causes the problem Pot Noodle. There were some posts on here the last couple of days by people with the same issue. I'd suggest installing Chrome and using that for downloading until Firefox gets fixed.

Ya cheers Raizor I noticed it after posting, Should have gone to spec savers!

finally (phew!) they fixed that nasty bug with FF9... BTW, since I noticed major slowdown and memory leaking with newer FF releases I'm really considering switching to Chrome... or anything else that WORKS... as simple as it should be...

Good choice!

Chrome is the best of them at the moment I think

i noticed the issue also in firefox. when i click a download link, it comes up as index.php, but it is actually the proper file, so just right click and save as, rename to <whatever>.rar/zip and your'e set. i don't think i had the issue in chrome at all.

so when it prompts to save the "index.php", its not the actual index.php, but the actual correct file to download. damn you firefox!
