browser showing file as text instead of downloading

is this a browser related issue?

 

when i click on different .torrent files in firefox, sometimes it sends me to a page with a bunch of writing in it

 

most of the time it opens the file properly and asks me to save as etc

 

this doesnt seem to happen in IE

 

is there a fix for this?

It may be browser related.

 

Firefox and IE have different algorithms for deciding what type a file is.

 

Which sites give you trouble?  And which version of firefox do you have?

 

BTW, this is not really a php question.
