Saving downloaded zip file: cpgz file type

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Keith,

Your zip file is corrupt. First of all, replace "file:" with "binfile:".

It is possible that the revXML external can't cope with binary data. In that case, your zip file will stay corrupt and you'll have to retrieve the data manually.
