See Here for Details (www.fileinfo.net)

If it is actually a zip file you may be able to rename it to .zip and open it.

602333 2007-10-17 07:56:00 I guess you downloaded that supposed Zip file using a download manager? :p

Some download managers may misinterpret the link ..... as the direct link to the file. Most probably the cgi file was used to process your request and was supposed to direct you to a link where you can download the Zip file, but unfortunately your download manager intercepted it and chose to download the cgi file instead.
