when downloading any binary, I always download as "source" rather than
"text".
To do this, in Netscape, either right-click, or click and hold on the link
for the file you want (.sit or .pkg, whichever), select "save this link
as", select from the popup box tell it "source" and not "text".
Sounds like you are destroying your downloads by letting them download as
text instead of binary , which there is no way to fix except to do it
properly, a second time.
HTH.
