Before trying to save the file again, clear both the memory and disk cache 
for Netscape.  Right-click on the file and choose "save-as" to save.  When 
using the browser to access binary files that Netscape thought were 
browser-viewable,  I have had this problem occur (Netscape would display 
garbage on clicking the object to download).  By clearing the cache (to 
remove the corrupted file) and then right-clicking to save the file,  I 
have been able to circumvent this corruption - sometimes :-)

Please let me know if this helps.
