Some browser may behave oddly -- I think that IE used to completely
ignore generic mime types (text/plain and application/octet-stream)
and using the filename suffix instead, but (IIRC) things are getting
better.

If you do set the webserver up to use application/octet-stream, then
things should behave fine for most browser/platform combinations, and
the gain is that 90% of your potential users (those on Windows) will
get Setup PLT when they click the link.
