[arachne] Re: Make Arachne save ZIP file downloads to hard drive

Someone else posted a reply to this noting that after the ZIP's content files 
had displayed in the browser window, I could simply press F2 to save the ZIP 
archive.  That solution was good enough for me.  I do imagine that disabling 
certain entries in MIME.CFG would cause Arachne to offer to save the file from 
the outset, rather than processing it first.

My personal settings were default-as-installed, but I did have PKZIP installed 
on the machine, so maybe Arachne found that and started using it as a plug-in.
