Someone (I think it was PeterThoeny) told me that there are several reports on this, and it seems to be a firewall issue.

Thanks! That did the trick. I had to "curl" around a proxy and was able to retrieve the file correctly.

I just made a change to the apache configuration to not compress archive files when delivered by the viewfile script.

Brent: Could you please check if this fixes the issue when using your original proxy scenario?

No such luck. Using WinZip it just fails to open. On Linux, I get an error about a missing internal directory structure. Looks like I need the proxy -- at least in my case. Thanks for trying!

Try and rename the downloaded zip to .tgz

It seems that the attachments get compressed. Especially when using Internet Explorer. And the compression is tgz or gz.

I have to do the renaming all the time when I use IE. Not only from Twiki.org but also from many other sites. But not all so there must be some switch in Apache that we have not got right.
