I just don't understand why it's disguised as a donkey. Are providers offended by saving traffic?:smile01:

Opera has one unpleasant feature:
when you download something, it can suddenly "override" the file extension to its own; and a song becomes a page, for example. It's most annoying when this happens when downloading an archive.

Hmm, I never noticed that. However, if I understand correctly what you're talking about, it's not about the browser itself. Sometimes files are uploaded incorrectly, meaning there's an issue on the server side, and the problem will occur in any browser. Just use the "save link as" option (right-click on the link) – this usually handles the file correctly.

Hmm, no. Internet Explorer is so primitive in this regard that it works correctly:D But Opera can sometimes be unpredictable. And it might suddenly recognize and download the file correctly after 6-7 attempts... I don't know what it is.

Try using an alternative Opera browser with a bunch of plugins to help with downloading. That's how I have both installed, and they work pretty well. I use the official one for web browsing, and the alternative one for downloading.:smile54:

I use Firefox, browse the internet, and download everything I want with just one instance of the browser running!

I especially liked the express panel with 12 tabs (everything you need is at your fingertips).

If this is what I think it is, then it's available on all browsers.
