The server delivers files with the ".mid" extension as "application/octet-stream" instead of "audio/midi". This reportedly sometimes throws off MS-IE, which (mis-)guesses the file format, and tries to display it as an image. In any case a valid mime type would be a good idea. Also, for some reason, MIDI files have the MIME type "audio/mid" in the database, instead of "audio/midi". This can probably be fixed by tweaking includes/mime.info file (the first entry in each line is the "primary" mime type used in the DB). The values would need to be changed in the DB, too. And while you are at it, fix the mime type for SVG too :)
I've added .mid/.midi to the lighttpd configuration file on the upload server so they are served with the correct type. Switched the bit in mime.info, uploads are now correct. Will run fixes on affected files in db.
