On the Mac it downloaded as bible.xml using chrome. I renamed that to bible.zip 
and double clicked that to get bible, to which I added the .xml extension. On 
the Mac it is the OS that handles the "unpacking."

This happens all the time on the Mac and I am used to it. 

It probably is tied w the mime type that the server provides for the download 
in the http header. Curl ignores that. 

Cent from my fone so theer mite be tipos. ;)
