Bolot,
Well, anything is possible. However, I've never seen it before with my set-up.
Nonetheless, running a few tests I discover that you are quite correct.
Downloading with IE (IE 5.00.3105.0106) or AOL (which runs parts of the same
IE) does an auto-decompress. Downloading with Netscape (4.73) downloads the
file uncompressed. It is strange that IE does not remove the compression
suffix .gz. I mean, here it's trying to do you a favor (albeit an unwanted
favor), but then screws up by naming the file incorrectly. Go figure!
I can find nothing in IE's profile selections which allows one to
select/deselect such behavior.
Thanks,
Jerry.
