I have an IIS 6.0 server with a web site based on PHP. When you go to
download a file such as this: "http://clients.udaltd.com/Billi_Springer/allen
res.zip" it appears that IE is corrupting the file, while Firefox does not.
After download the IE file is 3.94 MB while the good Firefox file is 2.56 MB.
This is only tested on IE6.

Does anyone know what could be the culprit for this behavior? Most of my
clients use IE so obviously I need to fix this...THX

Also note that the interface to download the file is here:

What is the MIME type of .zip set to in your IIS settings?

Mine is set to: "application/x-zip-compressed" and have not had any reports
of IE or any other browsers not doing a proper DL.
