i recommend holding the SHIFT key when you click on the "Download" button.

that forces Netscape (and maybe IE?) to download the file "as-is", without
regard to what it thinks it might be...  otherwise, Netscape tries to
assume a file type (like ASCII), and we all know what THAT means...  8\

i've done this myself several times and it works fine.  :)

hope this helps.
