@Sinan (sorry, a little OT):
I have trouble to download SP 2.3.4 RC1 with Firefox, too. IE is working well.
But really curios is, since 3 or 4 days all the firefox-user in my board (including me) have the same problem, there!
On a SP (2.3.3) Page for downloads, my user can download the index.php, the other (regular) attachments are an "application/octet-stream"....
I was nothing changing in the forum, no codes, nothing.
So if you find a solution for this problem, please let me know.
(At first i want to ask in SMF.org, but i trust more you, than the guys from SMF...)

Divecall,
You are having a problem at custom.simplemachines.org? With just this mod, or have you tried others?
Which version of firefox are you using?
When I send the user agent as
Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; MSIE 9.0; Windows NT 6.1; Trident/5.0)
I get
Content-Disposition:·attachment;·filename="SimplePortal_2.3.4_RC1.zip"
but when I send as
*Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; rv:9.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0
I get:
Content-Disposition:·attachment;·filename*=UTF-8''SimplePortal_2.3.4_RC1.zip

No, i have no problems there (Only a first moment, when they was doing the server maintance 8th of Nov. i have trouble with ALL the DL from them - for this reason i have the index.php from SMF.org... ;))
I have only trouble on the SP-site (and another page about an insurance). Here i cannot download the mod.
Mozilla Firefox v8.0.
DL from mirror is working well, also directly with IE or chrome: no problem.
How i get the informations about "user-agent" ?
I was reading it can help to rename the cookies. Is it dangerous for my forum?
-
Thanks for clarifying that.
I've moved this to site discussion.
Some browsers will tell you what "user agent" string you are sending.
For FF, I looked up a list of UAG strings sent by the different FF versions.
And I did my testing at rex swain. But I was testing the wrong repository!
-
I have tried a fix but I don't have the latest version of Firefox to test it now. See if it works now.

Works on FF ∞ now.

@Sinan:
Works, but it is totally slow.
When i do right click => "save target as..." i can download the index.php, again.
HOW YOU FIX THIS? Need help too!
Looks like this is a Firefox/SMF-bug...

Well, that's the best I could do for now. Try to live with it, lol.

@SINAN:
How you was fixing this here on Simpleportal.net?
Thank you in advance...

I just removed the double quotes for the filename in Content-Disposition header. It may cause issues for file names with spaces but it won't effect our downloads mod since there aren't any files with spaces in their names there.
-
Over at simplemachines.org, the team has applied a fix to the downloads site.
If this is working well, the fix also will be in the next available SMF version.
