[Bf-committers] blender.org mirror site setting problem

[Tom M]

Apparently some of the mirror download sites don't have a setting
correct, could the mirror download maintainers have a look at their
server settings?  Here is the relevant portion of the mail that I
received.

Thanks,

Hi,

> Safari (the default Mac browser) appends an extra ".bz2" extension to the disk image file (".dmg") containing the mac version of blender when downloaded from your site (from the USA link).  This results in the file not opening correctly (unless you manually remove the extra ".bz2" extension).
