I think you are right. It's probably converting all the \n's to \r\n
(on DOS/Windows at least).
I did some checking, and apparently .tgz is not a well-known
file type among Web browsers. On the other hand, .tar seems
to be well known, so I've renamed the file as euphor21.tar.
As a result, Netscape and IE both download it with a left-click,
and both are successful.
