Default Bittorrent Question

Almost every time I try to save a torrent I cant open it directly cuz all I get is Text. If I save the target as and open it it works fine


Well I have this direct link and i click it and i get the text....so how do i go about downloading it? Because i cant save target since its a .htm file that links to the torrent

r u using mozilla or another standards compliant browser (konquerer, safari, firefox)?? If so, then it's the server's problem and not yours. It is webmasters are accustomed to coding for IE, which loads content based on file extension (BAD behavior) instead of the mime-type. So, here is a torent file that is being served as text, so the browser loads it as text. How to fix this, If using firefox/mozilla, check out force content type.
