It's probably a server setting issue- just as your browser is set to 
act on certain MIME types, web servers are setup to _send_ MIME types 
based on file extensions. Most likely the webserver doesn't recognize 
".dmg" and is sending the default- either text/html or text/plain. It's 
an easy 1-line config change for most web servers, but of course the 
common problem would be having access to those settings at all.

HTH,
Brian
