This raises two questions in my mind. 1) Why is NetSurf doing this? 2) Do we need to warn potential users? I routinely put up zip archives (made with sparkfs) and download them again with NetSurf to check they work OK. They do, and in such cases NetSurf doesn't seem to tamper with them at all. BTW Just checked and Oregano2 happily downlaods the gzipped tarball (300K as the size shown by the RO filer, not the bigger 'NetSurf' version!)
