Comment #1 on issue 4237 by mmacmil...@sarjeantco.com: Split file download  
problem with Chrome
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=4237

To clarify, large media files are often split using splitter programs (such  
as
HJsplit)for easy posting on the internet.  Splitting the a 28mb file  
movie.mpg into 3
parts would produce files like:

movie.mpg.001 (10MB)
movie.mpg.002 (10MB)
movie.mpg.003 (8MB)

Windows does not typically "associate" .001 files with the HJsplit  
application, they
just appear like unknown files in windows.

Anyway, chrome is adding a file extension to the split files, and the files  
look like
this after download:

movie.mpg.001.mpg
movie.mpg.002.mpg
movie.mpg.003.mpg

The user then needs to remove the trailing .mpg manually to join the files  
using
hjsplit.

Furthermore, Chrome is adding a second file extension to many downloaded  
media files,
so I have many files labeled:

movie.mpg.mpg
movie.mpeg.mpg
movie.avi.mpg
