Answer 1

It is known HTTP headers problem with Internet Explorer. Try to edit your server's .htaccess file (if you use Apache) and include the following rules:

# IE: force download of .xxx files
AddType application/octect-stream .xxx

  ForceType application/octet-stream
  Header Set Content-Disposition attachment
