My experience has been that Navigator can download z-code correctly
but will only do so if you right-click on the link and choose "save
link as".  If you just hit the link and watch it display jibberish
and then "save as" my experience has been that it mangles the file
somewhere along the line.

But a real ftp app is so much nicer for that sort of thing anyway.
