There is nothing wrong with the packages. I maintain the mirror that you
most likely downloaded them from, and I assure you, they're fine. Also,
the web server does not need to know about the debian package mime type.
Simply save it as "source", which will transfer the raw binary data and
will not do any kind of MIME voodoo. Trust me, people have done this.
What are you using to download them? If you can't get your browser to
work with them, then try using something like snarf or wget.
HTH,
