Once your browser has shown the contents of a file in a window (because 
it doesn't know what a '.deb' is), the contents in the cache is 
corrupted, and it's quite difficult to download a non-corrupted version 
of the file.

If this happens, you can download them with the command-line tools 
'wget' (for http) and 'ncftpget' (for ftp). Just copy the link location 
from the right-click menu, and paste it in your terminal in a line that 
looks like this:

wget http://www.host.com/file.deb
or
ncftpget ftp://ftp.host.com/file.deb

Another advantage of these tools is that they can resume interrupted 
downloads ('-c' switch with wget).
