Hi Manjula, I looked around a little about this problem and found this note:
http://mail.zope.org/pipermail/zope/2003-November/144121.html which implies that there could be two sources for the problem; a) One how IE handles the download, which I found this info about (it is in the registry : <): http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/workshop/networking/moniker/overview/appendix_a.asp I had the problem with IE too, and here what was in my registry: application/x-gzip: extension: .gz, application/x-tar: extension: .tar, but I did not have an application/x-gzip-compressed. So then I added an entry to the registry for application/x-gzip-compressed, with an extension of .tar.gz with no impact. b) For apache web servers there is a configuration file called mime.types ... I believe this is where a certain MIME type has an extension mapped to it. If this mapping is not correct, or at least correct in the view of IE, maybe this is causing the problem. I'm guessing this is not something we can change but would require Apache infrastructure assistance. So it might be best to just workaround the problem for now.

Yes the IE has the option of changing the filename, but I think nobody ( in general) will make an attempt to change the file name when you are downloading a s/w like derby. Do we have any other workaround for this issue? Thanks Manjula
