php files

Whenever I download a local video from the site, it saves it as a .php file.

Is it supposed to do that, or does the site hate me?

Try just clicking the link instead of right-click, save as?

If you're using Mozilla/Netscape, this is a bug I've run into a lot.

I believe that it's because the MIME type for the videos from the download page is application/octet-stream instead of a recognizable video MIME type, so Mozilla just uses the current extension for the incoming file.

I just rename the file with the appropriate (.mpg or .avi) extension when I get the "Save As..." box.
