 * I am running WP 2 and have recently had my site transferred to a new server. 
   Everytime I try topost and publish it, it takes about 45 seconds and returns 
   with a download box to download a post.php. Can someone help me fix this problem,
   please??

 * Sounds like a gremlin hopped on board as the files were transferred – it does
   happen.
 * First, clear the Update Services box in options. That can be a source of post
   slowness.
    Then delete ‘post.php’ and upload a new one.
 * Let us know the result?

 * This did not help. When the download box appears, I cancel it, then try to go
   somewhere else in the admin panel and I get the same problem, just receive a 
   download box with a different .php file!

 * This problem still exists! I have reinstalled the latest WP, but the problem 
   still exists. I have another site on a different server that I have WP and it
   has just started to do the same thing. I write a post and when I publish it, 
   it sends a post.php to download. The post is saved and appears, but when I cancel
   the download and try to go to anywhere else in the admin area I get another .
   php file to download. I need to shut down my browser and re-enter into my site!
   I am at a loss as to what to do. Please if anyone can help, don’t be shy.
