   Why are posts offering to download themselves?
  Apologies if this has been mentioned, but I''ve been seeing some freaky behaviour from the forums over the last couple of days - occasionally when clicking topics/forums the download dialog pops up and offers to download the page rather than just open it as normal.File: topic.aspServer: www.gamedev.netType: application/octet-streamIs this some problem at my end (latest Opera, doesn''t happen anywhere else) or is someone on the sever tinkering with the MIME type for some obscure reason? 
  your problem only. Runs fine on mozilla.   New and improved! Yet still under construction. ;  Have you been messing around in preferences? It might be worth to take a look in the settings for file types on how its set to handle *.asp files. ;  No, its pretty much a fresh install of Opera, very little tweekage done. What strikes me as odd is that it works fine 99% of the time, then goes odd for perhaps a couple of minutes before ''fixing'' itself. Which suggests to me something must be changing (corrupt data packets?) the MIME type for some reason... ;  inm not familiar with opera, but the problem sounds like it is trying to work off line. it may query your connection status periodically and if it detects no connection switches to offline mode. then you make a request while the browser is in offline mode. the browser requeries, determines it can download and offers to download the page. check your connection to see if it is dropping or has alot of noise.

I doubt its the server sending that MIME type.
