There is a long-standing bug in the MIME type information for bzip2 files that meant downloading them resulted in a screenfull of gibberish rather than a file download.

I'll go into the database and fix it manually. -- Alan Burlison -- _______________________________________________ website-discuss mailing list [email protected]
