NO !!!

Arachne and M$IE gunzip the file on their own.

Sane Browsers do not.

M$download relies IMHO on MSIE automatically gunzipping the file again.

 GM> Arachne downloads the file just fine. 1,039,025 bytes.
because she gunzips it !

 GM> All 3 of the others Gzip the file
no but they simply do not gunzip it !!!
