Try do download them as .sit (Stuffit), .hqx or .gz (gzip) files and copy them
over to the Mac. Unstuff them with Stuffit Expander and you'll have no
problems. I regularly get Mac stuff using this Linux box (faster modem!).
Avoid .sea (Self Extracting Archive?) files as they're Mac applications and
will have problems.
