VStudio 3.5b12 Mac - "fake" bz2 extension - maybe OT

[Giacomo Vernoni]

This file:
http://valentina-db.com/download/beta/3.5.2b15/vstudio_3_mac.dmg

downloads as studio_3_mac.dmg.bz2 on Safari 3.0.4 (Only on Mac OS X  
10.4.11, no problems on Leopard.).

If you try to decompress, you get an error.
You just have to remove the .bz2 extension from the downloaded file.
Don't know why, but maybe this can help other people that have the  
same problem.

** More info **

I have found that many other people have this problem... this is a  
search in google for the terms "safari wrong bz2 extension":
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=safari+wrong+bz2 
+extension&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8

This can help the webmaster:
"Safari adjusts the extension according to the mime type, which often  
works well but sometimes goes awry, i.e. when the web server delivers  
the wrong mime type. Since .dmg is pretty much a Mac-only extension,  
many web servers do not have it properly configured."
