The problem is that the mirror does not report the (correct) mime type of the downloaded file. This seems to be happening a lot in particular with Transmission. The download mechanism will then add a file extension based on its best guess. As a .dmg apparently contains bz2 compressed data (looking at the first few bytes of the data), it decides it should have a .bz2 extension. The real fix for this is that the servers should report the correct mime type (application/x-apple-diskimage). However, as this particular one seems to be somewhat common, I think Sparkle could second-guess the default file name in certain cases (e.g. when the reported MIME type is missing or generic, and the file extension of the URL and the suggested file name are different).
