Hi,

I'm not 100% sure about this but i think this is a browser bug.
It uses the extension of the url (in your case .event) to append it to the
name of the file.
Maybe you could try a workaround by adding an extra parameter to your url
something like
?filetype=something.zip
This is only a quess so it might not work.
