 * I am glad that the plugin works but does my browser settings need to change in
   order for the file to download?

 * I doubt its your browser. Its probably your connection. Try a different browser.
   Run your virus scanner.
 * I am using the newest version of firefox.
    Turn off bittorrent

 * I am also on the latest version of firefox. I have also tried to install other
   plugins and am running into the same issue.

 * Try adding `AddType x-mapp-php5 .php` to the top of your WordPress .htaccess 
   file.
 * And stop posting the same question!
