Dunno if this might be relevent, but whenever I download any .debs at
work using W95+IE5 and save them, the saved files usually have "..de"
appended to the name. I say usually because most of the time, if I save
straight to a ZIP100, it doesn't append the "..de" but if I save to HD
it always appends "..de"
