wget -S Shows that server as having mod_gzip installed. It's possible that mozilla is saving a gzip encoded reply to disk. Next time you get a garbled repl, try running the 'file' command on it to see what you've actually got on disk. IF it is gzip, then you can just gunzip it. As to why this might happen, that's a somewhat longer story. Rob
