Ok Thanks, Sorry, I'll remember that for next time.
BTW Mozilla downloads attachments fine from SourceForge's trackers. That's just Mozilla's intelligence at work, there is still a problem with SF:
% curl -I "https://sourceforge.net/tracker/ download.php?group_id=17203&atid=414256&file_id=36263&aid=644514"
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Date: Wed, 27 Nov 2002 18:57:45 GMT
Server: Apache/1.3.27 (Unix) PHP/4.1.2 mod_ssl/2.8.12 OpenSSL/0.9.6b
X-Powered-By: PHP/4.1.2
Content-Disposition: filename=webmin-telnet-1.031-1.info
Connection: close
Content-Type: application/octet-stream
Problem is web browsers and web sites aren't following the recommended and documented procedures. IE is notably bad, it uses and the MS website even *recommends* their' own silly convention (no surprise there) that websites use "Content-Disposition: download" in the http headers.
Here's a php snippet which demonstrates what web sites _should_ be using. It follows RFC2183 (This RFC may have been superseded already, but I believe this part still stands):
header("Content-Type: application/whatever; name=\"$filename\"");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"$filename\"");
I've been bugging web sites and web browser companies to follow this whenever I encounter it, but the problem is widespread. (Pass it on.)

Please put those in one tarball, cmon man. You know how hard it is to get tracker items with the proper name? I have to select the name, copy, right click download, select "save link to" , paste the name, and select a directory.
For each file.
You have sf's idiotic attachment system to thank for that one. If you just click download, you get a ".php" file.
