Hi Daniel,

on reflecting a bit, i decided it must be a problem by configuration.
The reason i accused your swiki at first was that i saw it in two
different tools which otherwise can download stuff from the web
correctly.
Here is what (i think) happens:
The User agent sends the http request.
It gets an answer with a mime-type that it knows.
It looks up the plugin for that mime-type and then
applys it when downloading. Alltough this makes no
sense because plugins are only for displaying. not for downloading,
Both tools seem to do it that way. I've seen it with email attachments,
too. When looking into a file named <something>.cs.gz i found clear
text smalltalk instead of the unreadable binary stuff i expected.

Wget did the job for me and i think i should've been able to get it to
work with Netscape and Opera, too. But why bother.

Thanks for your help.
Torge
