Hi all. >>> if it is a browser mistake, then Mozilla 1.2.1 has the same problem.

Content-Encoding: x-gzip ...and the browser is CORRECTLY treating this as a request to decompress the file on the fly. Basically, it's a web server misconfiguration. The reason that wget doesn't hit the problem is that it's mirroring the site, so correctly FAILS to decompress as it assumes your web server is set up identical to the one it's mirroring.
