Can anyone shed any light on this?

Apologies for my previous 'mad dog' identity; I sent from the wrong email address.
Thanks

For some reason my node has lost the ability to recognise just about
any file type other than images, and constantly drops other types of
downloaded file into a list headed "Failed downloads: unknown type"
and then the filetype, such as 'application/x-rar-compressed' or
'video/mpeg'.
I don't know exactly when the problem started; I don't *think* it
coincided with an update, but can't be sure. I'm currently running
version 0.7.5#1323 on OS X.
The problem wouldn't be so bad if I could just say, ok nevermind, and
force the browser to download it anyway, but instead I end up having
to jump through what sometimes feels like recursive hoops as I try
various combinations of "Fetch"ing the file, or "restarting the
download" (maybe disabling the content filter?) or "Downloading" the
file, or "forcing the browser to open as a text file" and so on and so
forth... it's complete circular nightmare. Sometimes opening as a text
file works, sometimes it doesn't... no idea why.
How can I "tell" my node about these file types?
Any idea why it lost this ability in the first place?
