[Sugar-devel] Problem downloading a lease.sig file on an XO

[Juan Cubillo]

mime type has been correctly set to application/octet-stream and wget 
confirms the change. But Sugar is still downloading it as text/plain 
type and now adds a .txt extension at the end of the file making it 
lease.sig.txt . It seems my guide will now have to add the extra step of 
"log into Gnome" so that kids may download the file and unlock XOs. 
Nothing to worry about. Thanks for all the help!
