April 28, 201115 yr Hello AllNot too sure if this is the correct place to ask this question, but each time I attempt to download a file from the Avsim library, I get a screen full of 'garbage' instead of the usual 'Save' option:I suspect that the 'garbage' is actually binary data from the 'downloaded' file being displayed graphically by the web page.This starting happening without warning about a month ago. I've recently updated Firefox to 4.0 hoping this might fix the problem, but alas not. All is OK with IE6.0, just Firefox. Hence, it's not a real show stopper, just inconvenient.Notwithstanding, any help much appreciated.RegardsGary
April 28, 201115 yr Hi, Gary. You may want to post this in the AVSIM Files Library forum up the page a bit.However, if it works in IE, I would probably just use that for my downloads here until this gets sorted out.HTH.

April 28, 201115 yr I get a screen full of 'garbage' instead of the usual 'Save' option:Hi, garydpoole. Try to find WHERE, in Firefox, you can tell "him" WHAT to do with a ZIP file.Similar to that in the menus :EditPreferencesApplicationsZip archiveAlways askBlue skies.
April 28, 201115 yr Author Hi, garydpoole. Try to find WHERE, in Firefox, you can tell "him" WHAT to do with a ZIP file.Similar to that in the menus :EditPreferencesApplicationsZip archiveAlways askBlue skies.Many thanks, C-JEAN - that did the trick.Although I've no idea how that particular setting managed to get changed as I've never modified any setting in that menu before. Oh well...RegardsGary
