 This is r547.

 Some server don't seem to correctly set the MIME type for downloaded
 files. You'll end up with some generic file with unknown/unknown or
 application/forced-download or something.[[BR]]
 Double-clicking doesn't start e.g. Expander in case of an archive.
 Actually, I don't know why the system doesn't sniff things out. I mean,
 there are sniffer rules and even opening according to file extentions
 would be OK...

 Anyway, how about Tracker scripting a "force-identify" (see SHIFT+right-
 click a file) on a downloaded file?
