This is a web server configuration issue and actually has nothing to do 
with Revolution vs. any other file on a web server.

If the web server is apache, add lines like this to a .htaccess file

AddType application/octet-stream dmg
AddType application/octet-stream gz
AddType application/octet-stream rev

Or talk to your web hosting provider and tell them the extension of the 
filename that is not downloading correctly.

However, some web browsers may try to outguess the web server, which is 
why it might work with some browser but not others.

The correct solution is to change the web server config, not to force 
users to jump through hoops to run a particular browser, or Shift-click 
to download the file, etc.
