In Mozilla, when I'm downloading an archived file [.sit, .zip, .dmg, etc.] for an instant some .exe file will appear on the desktop. When my orignal file finishes downloading, the .exe would disappear from the Desktop directory and be replaced by the downloaded file.

Anyone experience such weirdness?

Yeah, I used to get that. Never really thought about - I've always presumed it's just a random name that Moz gives the file while it's downloading, which goes to the real thing when it's finished. I'm not sure why they put a .exe extension though...

Just tried it using Moz 1.7b and it's a random name, but the correct extension.

Thank you. I just started to get a little paranoid. I just figured if I wasn't sure about it, then I should ask. Thanks.
