planetmirror serving .dmgs as text/plain :(

I just went to download the 2.2.5 Patch-14 on my old PB, and I discovered (quite unhappily) that the planetmirror mirror is serving patch .dmg files as text/plain, which causes any standards-compliant browser to try and render the patch file as text Sad

Not a pleasant way to try and get a 16 MB .dmg Sad

(In case planetmirror itself is round-robining , it was download1.planetmirror.com that served me text/plain.)

I see this as well when I use the "curl -I" Terminal command to see the HTTP headers.

I will send them an e-mail now.

I also temporarily disabled that mirror until I receive a reply from them.

Thanks, Patrick. I hope they can fix their .htaccess file soon, because I know losing a mirror really hurts, too. Sad

FYI. They have corrected this problem and I have readded their mirror to our mirror list.
