This may be the wrong group to ask this and if so I apologize.

I am running Winzip under XP and every time I DL a .zip file it opens
in Winzip instead of just letting me save it. How and where do I find
setting or whatever to let me just save the .zip files??

TIA

You don't mention what version of Winzip, but check the Options within
Winzip. It most likely is there.

Launch "Folder Options" then open the "File Types" tab.
Scroll down to zip, select it then click the "Advanced" button.
Check the box "Confirm open after download".

(WinZIP uses a proprietary algorithm making its zip files
unreadable in most other archiving programs)

I've been using Winzip for decades and have never found that to be
true. Where did you get that idea?
