Hi: I have never seen anything like that unless there is a file extension selected in some box and in this case the .exe extension which is getting added onto the .zip extension. It also could be a result of some website using a custom installer or unzipper appended to a standard zip file and then executing it when you click on the executible. It is hard to determine what is going on in any case without actually seeing the source of the url you are downloading. .But I would check to see if in the downloader box on the site if there is a selection for a file type to save as and ensure the .exe extension is not selected if it exists. If there is a box and there is a "*) star in the list of file extensions highlight it and try the download again. If the site uses some type of "custom" installer you will have to read their instructions on how to use it. These are the only 2 things I can think of off the top of my head, the first being if you elect to save a download and you actually get an option to select if there will be a file extension appended to the file being requested for download.
