.exe files being saved in .zip format in Opera

On some websites, when I try to download .exe format files, Opera is saving them as .zip files. Then, when I try to 'unzip' those files once downloaded, I get an error message; something like 'crc error file is empty' or something like that. I have no idea how to fix this, since there is no 'save as' feature near as I can tell. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Any chance of a link? Probably the site is sending the wrong MIME type.

If it is only some files, Pesala is probably correct.

You can always rename the file to give it the correct extension.
