The version from the URL above is quite a bit different from the one I
had. Where's the version number?

Anyway this version starts to download the zip file but sets the file
type to Text until it's complete. The previous version I had
downloaded the file as DEADDEAD until complete but only used the last
three digits of the NS version number in the file name i.e. "2994/zip"
was stored as "994/zip".

I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
