Trying to download an mp3 file opens mobile safari instead

Hi,
I installed opera mini 5 on my iphone 3g today. When i try to download an mp3 file off the web, opera opens mobile safari instead (I thought opera had an integrated download manager). How do i make opera itself (1) open and (2) download the file?

Thanks,
Akhil

To download with Opera Mini select the save option instead of open and you can then select where you want to save the file. You'll need to open the file with the file manager or in this case your music player.

I get the option only to "open". I forgot to mention, my iphone is jailbroken, and i have safari download manager installed, which does its job. I was just wondering if opera mini could do the same thing. Apparently it can't, as mentioned in this thread by tommy-vercetti:

If it can, let me know.

Thanks :-)

Due to apples restrictions,om iphone doesnt provide save option...Well click open and then save in safari with sdm..but downloading is not worth it because the songs will be accesible through ifile only and not in normal ipod app..personally i just bookmark them in om,download on desktop and sync
