Curiously, other POT files are downloaded from browser okay:

Mmm... I found this Firefox bug for the issue:

***
Tarball is double gzipped when downloaded with Firefox 
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=610679
***

But as comment #29 and next messages suggest, maybe we can do something 
at server side to avoid this from happening. By reading the comments, 
looks like Apache settings on this regard do make a difference.

Greetings,
