And it does not happen all the time. Why it says that : an external app is needed when only opening the download window?
If I recall correctly, it's because firefox doesn't distinguish between type of file until late in the process, which is too late for torbutton to catch and anonymize the request. I believe Mike's only solution was to catch all downloads, warn the user, and let them decide if they understand what they are downloading, from .exe to .dmg to .txt files.
