If you are trying to download from a site and instead it shows as gibberish/garbled text/garbage, it's most likely the result of a misconfigured server.
For users
- Contact the webmaster of the site and tell them about the issue. This is very important so that not only you can download the file properly, but others can too.
- Instead of clicking on the download link, right-click on it and pick "Save Link As."
- Alternately, open the file as text, then choose "File -> Save Page As" and give it an appropriate name and extension.
For webmasters
Read MIME types.
