[Tfug] Knoppix

[Anthony Steckman]

This doesn't help if you want to use a download manager like wget.

In fact, AFAIK, the "type" field in the Mozilla Save Link Target As 
dialog box only effects the filter being used to view the contents of 
your hard drive -- in other words: you're still initiating the transfer 
with a MIME type of text/plain (and, therefore, there's a very good 
chance the resulting download will be useless).

The only browser or download manager I know of that will ignore the MIME 
type specified by the server is Internet Explorer.
