When force_redirect is set to 0, LDM behaves as follows:

- if the file type exists in the VBulletin attachment table, then the mimetype data set up in that table is used.
- otherwise, LDM issues a simple browser redirect.

So you should create new entries in VBulletin attachments table for each of the filetypes you want to deal with. The .htaccess mimetype data only comes into play when this is not available.

Now, there is a another problem with Firefox: When you do a "right click/save link as", Firefox does not 'pre-fetch' any information before processing the 'save as' command. As a result, you end up downloading a "scriptname.php" file containing html, rather than (e.g.) the correctly named mp3 file. This has been long discussed on the Firefox development forum - it's a deliberate design choice on their part to speed up processing. It's one area where IE does (in my opinion) a better job.

Am I missing something?

My MIME types are defined correctly in the vbulletin attachments table, that never fixed it. I had to add the mimetypes into my .htaccess file and have force_redirect set to 1 for the mp3s to download correctly. Some times audio files work. But video files never work...

Now if the files were renamed in a way that they do not have any spaces, nor in their parent directories, will that fix it?
