PersianImmortal you are right, large bitmap pictures gives the best quality avaible, but at the cost of space..

I believe its a registry problem also
why ?
because this usually only happens when my computer has been running for a long period of time ( 2 days straight or more )
because I've uploaded JPG pix on one server, download it as JPG, two or so days later I try to download it and the file name is now "untitled.bmp" ( as specified by this threads author ), but I immediately REBOOTH my computer and go back to save the pic and I get it as "originalname.jpg"
so it may have something to do with stack memory, low memory, memory dump or a congested processor (?)

I did this test on many servers and it does sometimes change the files to BMP ( like I said, usually after my computer has been through a long acive or busy active period of time )
and it ALWAYS allow me to download the realfilename.jpg AFTER a FRESH/REbooth
