 | Some sites I've visited recently (www.pcworld.com, www.pcmag.com, and =
other Ziff Davis sites for example) are transmitting a zero-byte file =
called blank.cgi. Is anyone else seeing these?
Apart from "escaping" the Opera file option screen (Save, Open With, =
etc.), is there some way to tell Opera to ignore the file?

Running Zone Alarm Pro perhaps? It's known to cause trouble.

One person posting about this specifically has blank.cgi listed as being
from the "website" 127.0.0.1, which is to say his own computer. And in his
case it was on a different site. You have an ad-blocker of some sort which
is replacing the ad with that (whether the ad blocker is in ZA or
separate, I don't know), and Opera doesn't know how to handle it.
Sometimes I think we're better off without ad blockers ...
