Prevent 'garbled text' file downloads via server settings
Authored by: mrelwood on Mar 14, '07 01:25:57PM

I just had to register to say this. I was really annoyed at this problem, but now found an user-end solution thanks to this thread.

From the download preferences, set the default action for plain text files (.txt) to show download dialog. You must uncheck "Hide types opened with Opera" in order to get to the .txt type.

This will be a bit boring if you open a lot of .txt files in links.... (since they also open the dialog) but who opens txt-links? I don't.

I hope this is helpful for others also.
