I'm getting some feedback that users are having trouble downloading
recipes. Please try the following:

1. In your browser long-click on the recipe file to get a context menu
2. Select "save link"
3. The file should now download and appear in the downloads section
4. Click on the recipe file and an application menu should appear
5. Select Bites
6. Bites should now open and the recipe is loaded

I have not had a chance to test this on a HTC handset so please let me
know if this does not work for you. Keep the feedback coming everyone
and we'll make this a great application.

This has gotten even easier with Bites v1.2.

1. In your browser click on the recipe file
2. The file should now appear in the downloads section
3. Click on the recipe file and Bites should open
4. Agree to imorting the recipe and it is loaded

You can also use a barcode scanner to scan a code containing a url to
a recipe to skip the slow browsing part!

This feature doesn't appear to be working on the HTC Hero. Bites
doesn't appear to be registering itself as a handler for XML documents.

Thanks for letting me know AngelOD - I'll look into this.
Perhaps there has been a change to xml mime-types in the browser on
the Hero. It is still working on my magic (myTouch).
