1. Check the HTML source of the rendered link. Is it valid? Is the
file extension valid?

2. Check the MIME type being sent by the server because the content-
type header will determine the browser's behaviour (open directly or
prompt with a save dialog).

3. It does seem like a web server (IIS) issue and someone might have
changed the settings for certain MIME types.
