When I click an attachment my download manager kicks in, but downloads a php file. I use firefox but this also happens using IE. Any suggestions?

I suspect that vBulletin does not support the Download manager.
Sorry, you'll have to do it the old fassion way.
No attachment on this site is bigger 8MB anyway.

I was actually referring to firefox's builtin download manager, but before I replied I tried disabling the external download manager and let the browser handle it alone. Before this I would just hit cancel when the external manager kicked in and thought the I would get the same reaction from the browser. Something got lost in passing the argument to the browser. After disabling the manager, firefox downloaded just fine.
Well, everything is fine with the world now. Something so simple ... geeez, and I call my self a computer geek?

Just as an additional info, accelerators like IDM will work fine but DAP wont parse the php correctly.

I'm getting the same problem, but I don't use a download manager. I've tried Firefox and IE7 (both under Windows XP) and both see the link as a 1x1 Gif Image.
I've never come across this before so any assistance would be most welcome.
Thank you

I have downloaded and installed Chrome, but I still get the same result, the attachment is seen as a Gif.
I am trying to download "lokiwiz03a.zip" from THIS (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=265928) link. Is there an alternative source for this without having to trawl through the various File sharing sites who could have added who knows what to the package?
Again, thank you for the help.

if its a .zip, then im assuming you use winrar to open it?
If this is true, then download the file to the desktop, then right click it and select "Open With..."
Look around for "Winrar" and then select it, Then make sure "Always use the selected program to open this kind of file."
I hope i helped you, if not... Send me a PM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/private.php?do=newpm&u=1640210) (For faster communication)

I think you can't download the file because the file does not exist anymore. I also tried to download lokiwiz with the very same result. The 1x1 Pixel is the only thing you get. Maybe the link is just dead or the file has been moved...

That was realy helpful, thanx.
Maybe you know where I can download some ROMs too.
I need an english (or german) ROM for a Qtec 9100. I've tried the links on this site but these links seem to be dead (I allready posted that in another thread).
Maybe you can help me out here too.

I tried Chrome, IE 7, IE 8, IE 8 x64, lynx and links (Vista x64 and Linux) and always a blank page.
Maybe we could have a better page, like this file does not exist anymore or something like that...:mad:
