I want Safari to show the download box when I e.g. click on a mp3 link, instead of opening it with Quicktime inside Safari. Other browsers has had it in preferences where you could specify what the browser should do with what file types. How do I change this behaviour in Safari (4 BETA btw)?
Got a tip for us?

Same boat
I noticed the same thing. Whenever I wanted to save an mp3 or .mov file I kept having to open Quicktime then use the link. I use Flip4Mac WMV, mind you. So anything that was wmv etc. opened anyway. I ended up reverting bsck to Safari 3. I f you figure out how to fix it reply.
Thanks

that seems like the qucikfix way, save it to the desktop or something then open it with whatever you want.
