Someone just reported when they visit WordPress.org it tries to download a file instead of showing the web page. Can anyone recreate this? (16)

Yeah, no problem. Curious.
Maybe he/she uses IE

Fine here too. Any indication what browser/OS they were using?

Fine here (Mozilaa 0.9.1, IE 6) The browser could have problems with the content-type, possibly.

My guess would be that their IE user agent string is mangled and the page is getting served as application-xml to IE, which will cause it to try to save it as a file rather than display it.
Either that or their content handlers have gotten messed up for application-xml.

Not a problem from within FeedDemon.

All of these results are on a win2k machine:
Opera 7.5, all agent strings - OK
IE 5.05 - Ugly, but OK
IE 5.5 - Ugly, but OK
IE 6 - OK
Firefox 0.9 - OK
Mozilla 1.3.1 - OK

That’s happened to me a few times on many different pages. I’m using firefox 0.9 on WinXP though.

Their computer is probably infected with some form of malware which is causing this. Suggest to them to run AdAware or some other malware capturing program.
