If you go to the page http://www.desktopauthor.com/offer/Book_of_Lies.asp
you will see it says to click the link to download a file, whose URL is
"http://www.ebook.com/eBooks/TheBookOfLies.dnl", however when Opera (9.52)
downloads this, it does it as "TheBookOfLies.exe".

Notice that the URL is ".dnl" but the download is ".exe".

Is this a bug in Opera or in the HTML of the page?

Thanks, that did the trick.
