Why not? I've never had any problem with properly configured web servers. Octet-stream is more a transfer encoding than anything else. You'd generally download programs to disk with it more than web pages. If you're getting it when you expect a web page, the web server in question probably has screwed up mime types. Mozilla actually expects a standards-compliant web server, which not all are. If you're trying to download a file, there should be an option to save to disk. From there you can open it with Stuffit or whatever else you'd usually use. Do note that unencoded Mac files tend to lose their filetypes when on the net.
