Description
I'm using this module on my website, but users using Firefox say that they can'tdownload files, because, instead of having the normal window that allows to save the file, they see strange text charachters on their screen.
I'm quite sure this is because, when you click the info button on each file, I see "mimetype=text-plain" for each types of files, zip, exe, txt, pdf, mp3, etc.
Installing the mimetype module don't solve the problem.
Do you think that, removing the ?download from the end of the url, could be a solution?
if yes, how?
Thanks.

You need to provide more info, because at the website - http://www.mobilemodding.info - which uses disknode there Mime type of all files is "application/octet-stream"

Arg!
this is not a disknode problem.
I uploaded a file with the simple upload module of drupal, then I opened a disknode window, I scrolled to the new uploaded file, clicked the info button and I saw "mimetype text/plain", also if the file was a zip.
So, this is not a problem of disknode I supposed, but this is a problem of all the files I upload.
I will search in the forum if someone had the same problem, of all types of file that are text/plain.
Sorry for having opened an issue that was not about disknode.

Sorry for re-opening this ticket but problem is still here.
I uploaded a file with the standard upload module of drupal, then I opened firefox, and I downloaded the zip file without problem.
the link was something as www.mysite.com/system/files/test.zip
With disknode instead, firefox open the zip file as a text files.
go here:

also if this is an italian web site, go down until you find:
Files utili disponibili per questo ausilio:
you'll find 6 7 files, try to download them with internet explorer and firefox, and you'll see that firefox open the file, rather than download them.
Using standard upload module of drupal is ok, instead.
