Re: [Mono-list] Problems with mono downloads

[Jeremiah McElroy]

I remember someone mentioning this earlier and part of the problem might 
be that the MIME type is being sent as a gzip, which causes many 
browsers to attempt to ungzip it as they download it.

Right click -> save as usually fixes the problem.

Of course, I might be wrong on the underlying technological reasons, I 
don't run the site, I'm just some wag on the internet.

There is a problem with file downloads from your go-mono site, particularly 
tar.gz source archives, including the daily snapshots.  I think it is 
something in the http header - which is sending incorrect file size info. to 
clients which then corrupts the downloads.  

I have confirmed this with Mozilla, Konqueror and IE browsers on Win32 and 
Linux, and it has been a problem for several weeks now.

Download of the same file from a mirror of your site is fine.
