Since Windows NT doesn't understand the data/resource fork setup that a Mac
uses, it just kinda throws all of the data together into one big lump.
(mmmmm....data lump) Then, when the Mac tries to look at the file
after it's been downloaded again, it doesn't tend to make a whole lot
of sense. Don't you hate that? :)
