That sounds more like a server side issue. I don't think a browser would change the extension of any downloaded file.
Report the error to Google and the issue will likely be fixed.

Safari 5 rocks, my favorite browser. Firefox is a good second, though.
and I am really loving the reader feature

I'm surprised I'm still preferring Safari 5 over Chrome... at first it was just because it was new, but I'm starting to sense that something about it just feels right. Chrome is a damn good app too, but Safari feels better integrated.
That said, I'm definitely still missing tabs-on-top and a unified address/search bar. Hoping that extension devs can figure those out.

man this update is pretty whack for me. i thought i was the only one experiencing page loading "hangs". once a link is clicked the blue loading bar seems to get stuck half way. i have to cancel then reload to get to the page. this is on my early 08 mbp and g5 tower. i'm gonna try to reinstall safari to see if there are any improvements.
update: so on my mbp i uninstalled gimmerblocker, add on extensions, and downloaded safari 5 for leopard. installed, restarted, then added all my previous extensions. so far so good. page load much quicker then before, no hangs. gonna try this tomorrow at work for the g5.

I have a 2009 MBP, 2.66GHZ, 4GB RAM, OS X 10.6.3. All software is legal and legit and I have no shareware type apps or plugins.
For me, Safari 5 is much slower, hangs a lot, a few websites (rightmove.com especially) just don't work with it and, worst of all for me, scrolling is really stuttery and choppy.
For example, page one of this thread is horribly stuttery, page 4 is fine. (Update: page 4 of this thread is actually stuttery now, too.)
Can I legitimately go back to Safari 4?

You're talking about free software, man. Why're you stressed about it being "legit" or not?
Haven't tried it, but you could probably delete your Safari.app executable and download the version 4 .app somewhere. Not sure where you'd find it now, though.
My point was that I don't have any non-official software that could be causing the problems.
It's been great so far, very fast and loving the extensions.
However, it's a bit buggy and crashy. That I can live with, but the worst is that it won't tell me what tab I'm in (Safari 4 was like this too, hoped 5 would fix it) it just colors all of them the same.
Argh.

Safari 5 is running sucky on mine, no pluggins etc. Slow, crashes, freezes.... Chrome is so much better especially on vid sites. Safari also doesn't reload tabs that were open when it crashed or froze, really fun trying to remember what you had open or doing with multiple tabs.
Apple is starting to accept submissions for their Safari Extensions Gallery.
I'm guessing it will be a crowded place

safari 5 has been beachballng a lot lesser than 4 for me....
BUT...5 has ridiculously long latency times in accessing many websites!!! what's up with that??!!!

I really like many of the features in Safari 5. Like the top sites thing when you open a new tab, and the reader.
I was all about Safari back on my G4 Powerbook, but then I got Firefox, found it faster and more compatible, and stuck with it. When I found out Apple released Safari 5, I figured I'd switch back.
It does seem to be a bit slower than Firefox, but this might just be an illusion. Otherwise, I'm happy thus far (this coming from someone that's used it about an hour).

For the guys having stability problems:
- clean cache/history
- avoid plugins (SIMBL, GLIMS, etc)
- avoid extensions (Adblock crashes OFTEN)
- use Flashless or Click2Flash (for Flash crap)
For blocking ads, use GlimmerBlocker (it is a proxy, so it doesn't affect Safari stability).
For extensions, install one, use the browser for a while to make sure it works without crashing before you install another.

Sorry, but Safari 5 for me is nothing but disappointment. I'm finding it difficult to see the improvements mentioned ... in fact I'm experiencing the opposite ... with six machines of various architectures (including dual processor multi-core), Safari 5 is tragically slow!

Anyone having issues with Safari running slow, hanging on load up....etc...
I got this info from another thread and followed the instructions and Safari is running like a charm.

What worked and worked completely is going to system preferences>Network>Advanced>DNS>+ and adding in these two numbers under DNS Servers:
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220
Make sure you click apply afterwards
You may have to restart your computer or router, but maybe not. These numbers should work for everybody

Yes! I've seen this on Apple's support form and this help a lot. I't didn't eliminate the server issue but it reduced it a great deal.
