Hi, You'd need to rename them to something that the browser won't mistake for text, .sit or .bin (or even .exe) would do. The problem comes if the browser thinks it's downloading text, at which point it does an ASCII transfer, (downloading the file as a collection of 8bit bytes) as opposed to a binary file (a continuous binary "octet" stream) at which point your download is toast once you rename it and try to decompress it. It's the same as downloading a binary file as ASCII via ftp, it screws your data up royally... later jb
