Ahmed, The servers report a MIME type of "application/pdf" for the files (gpbb*.pdf.gz). Internet Explorer decompresses them on the fly, but doesn't change the extension of the saved files. So you end up with PDFs with a ".pdf.gz" extension. Navigator and GNU wget get it right. Use them instead (

Thanks for the explanation. There's one point where I disagree: I think the loop of Justin is correct because he uses --i. That means before the first comparison i is decremented by one. It would be wrong if he would have used i --. That's one of the reasons I don't like using the ++, -- operators
