Short Answer: Right click on the link and select "Save Link As" or "Save Target As" and download it that way.
Long Explanation: The MimeType on the server is set wrong for 7zip files, so browsers that strictly obey mimetypes (i.e. the content type the server claims it is), will display that garbage when you open the link- because the server is saying it's a text file.

In fact, two possible situations:
server does not say anything and client assumes it's "text/html" (by default)
OR
server does say it's "application/x-7z-compressed", but client does not understand this and falls back to default "text/html"...
but anyway, just use "save target as..."
Re: Documentation and examples updated!
so I manually changed all the ".GetInstance" calls in my add-ons..and voila
it's a shame there is no similar workaround/fix for the inventory add-ons
no dev update yet?
Re: Documentation and examples updated!
I, for one, am anxiously awaiting these corrections. I know it is in Beta but the Lua API should receive a lot more active attention (if it's not already) in my opinion. It's just that important to a lot of people's enjoyment of the game.

I did this, it downloaded 89kb of info and is completely useless. Short Answer: these aren't worth the pain in **** to repair/patch everytime Turbine updates.
Long Explanation: Thanks to all who use their time and knowledge to develop plug-ins, some of them are really spectacular. However, the snafus and dilligaf position of the parent company will prohibit me from trying many of your plugins, because quite simply, I don't have a lot of playtime, and I don't want to spend it trying to figure out why something is not WAI. Hell, I can't even get the LINKS in the original message to allow me to download the info I need to run your programs.../ack.
Seriously though, you guys do some great work, I just wish someone could develop a plugin autopatcher. I don't have the knowledge or skillset, otherwise I wouldn't be navel gazing; I'd be trying to develop one. :)

You also need to download 7-zip in order to extract that format (available here)

Response headers show: "Content-Type text/plain; charset=UTF-8"
Opera and Firefox pay attention to the headers, IE, Safari and Chrome apparently just go by the extension.

You mean code written by Microsoft (IE) and Apple (Webkit - what makes Safari and Chrome work) doesn't want to play nicely with the rest of us?
Now there's a shocker....

Yeah, I mean standards? who needs those? If every browser generated pages exactly the same, that would be way too boring. :p
Re: Documentation and examples updated!
Firefox gives you the option to Save as... In the window under the file it says save as txt file, but you can change that to save as all files from the drop-down menu - then it will see the type of file it is and save it correctly. Worked for me. Thanks for all your hard work everyone!
Re: Documentation and examples updated!
It would REALLY be nice if this was brought up to date with Update 7. It would save hours of digging and searching for more information on the new/changed features.
