What’s Happening with My SIT Files?

@MSchoafFeb 16.2007

I have .sit file posted for download. They are on the server as .sit file, however, when I click the link to download, Explorer wants to save it as a .sas file…which, consequently, will not open – I get an error. If I manually go in and make the extension .sit it will download and open fine. Using Stuffit Deluxe 9.0 for Windows. Is there some setting that will correct this?
Thanks.

@toicontienFeb 16.2007 — #Internet Explorer has a nasty habit of ignoring mime types of files, and instead relies on the file extension. If you want IE to save as .sit, you'll have to name them as *.sit files.
