No, not a Safari bug - BMerlin

Actually, no. It is not a Safari bug. Safari is behaving exactly as it should.

The problem lies with the web server. It sends Content-Type: text/plain for the stuffit file, when it should be sending a more reasonable application/octet-stream. So, Safari displays it as a text file since that's what the server says it is.
