I do not have .net files associated with QuickTime; regardless, I don't understand how that could affect the way a file is downloaded--doesn't it just pertain to how a file is opened/read once it's been saved?

Every time I have saved a gnutella.net file it ends up being listed as an MPEG-1 Video with a Quicktime logo showing on the icon. And I tried four or five different links, multiple times. In the end, I had to use a Windows machine to download a good copy and then transfer it to my machine (a Mac). But, about two months ago when I had difficulty connecting and tried this replacing gnutella.net option, I successfully downloaded the file and got Limewire up and running no problem. So I just don't get what's going on that it won't properly save the gnutella.net file as a binary file.
