--> I don't know your particular circumstances; but in general,
    most browsers don't have a clue what to do with shrunk files,
    so they tend to use the default - which is usually: `try to
    read it'. If this is the case; adding the specific file types
    as being the kind one d/l's instead of tries to read, will
    let one simply click on the file and them d/l it. Another
    common option is to `right-click' on the file (presuming a
    two-button mouse) and one should get other options as to what
    to `do' with the file type in question. If this is the case;
    then `right-clicking' and choosing `Save as', should allow
    one to have the file xfered, instead of being read. HTH.
