When a file is attached to a MaplePrimes question or post, the link to that file actually goes through an intermediate "document view" page, which is the .aspx page that you refer to. So that explains why your browser is trying to download the .aspx page when you right-click.

However, if you simply left-click the worksheet link, you will be prompted to download the file itself.

...so after your reply, I went trolling for sampes. It seems that the first file that I tried to download has some sort of link problem. I was able to successfully l-click on a different files - one of type PDF and one of type mw - and both of them worked. Thanks for the reply ;-)

p.s. I then ran into a different post where I could not download the file. By chance, I opened up the thread, and found that there were 2 uploaded files, not just the one that is displayed in the summary. I was able to l-click on both of those files and download them, so I consider the display and link of the file in the summary to be a defect of the MaplePrimes forum.
