      I assume the browser doesn't prompt you to download and just displays the binary data?  This is usually a problem with headers, but it looks like the file mod in 1.7 is sending out the correct ones.  As far as I know, IE only needs the Content-Disposition header to force a download...this may have changed.  What type of file is it?

      The file I have been working with most is a pps (power point show) file, but I have tried others too (like doc).  I'll take a look at the files plugin and see what I can find out.
