Actually torrent files are binary that looks like garbage when displayed as text. If the MIME type were set correctly, then when I would click on the torrent links at http://torrent.dulug.duke.edu/, the browser would know that they are torrent files and would start the bittorrent program. But now it thinks it is plain text and displays it , which is not very useful. > Dennis > > > -- > fedora-list mailing list > fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx > http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list >
