With SP10 go to http://www.parallels.com/en/products/workstation/mac/

At the bottom of the page, click on one of the PDFs. The bug is that it appears that the PDFs are downloading in the Download Manager, but no file is downloaded and the status is stuck at the same location.

In Safari a new window is open and the PDF is loaded.

I'm getting something similar at http://forums.parallax.com/forums/default.aspx?f=22&m=125681

Try downloading the "DeerLinda.bs1" link in the first post. The download window opens, the status bar goes almost all the way to the end, but there is no name or size displayed in the download window. The file doesn't open and doesn't appear on the desktop. OW5.1.3 opens the file in a new browser window.

To workaround this, control click and select the Download link option and it will work properly. There appears to be a bug when clicking download links directly.

I'm having similar problems with this link:

http://furius.ca/downloads/xxdiff/snapshots/xxdiff.snapshot-svn-922.tar.bz2

The download starts and then hangs.

Works fine with Safari and wget.

It also works if I right-click the link and choose Download, instead of clicking directly.
