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.

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...

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!
