hi When i try to download files through Netscape (tar.gz files) and try to open them, i keep getting errors. I am told most errors occur because most clients download them as ASCII files. So what do i use to get around this problem.

You're opening them with tar -xvzf right?

I am not sure but it looks like you need to extrat the gz files from the tar file first and then unzip (using gzip probably)the resultant files

Netscape will automatically unzip files as it downloads them. :( So use Lynx or an ftp client to download compressed archives. Gftp is a good one to try. Or IglooFTP if you want something a little fancier.
