The server admin has to set the correct mime type.

I see this downloading Newton packages. Some sites, the PKG file comes down as text with a .pkg.txt ending, but on others, it comes down fine as a binary PKG file. Same thing happens with DMGs and others.

You can also use a renaming utility to help you with problem files. I use A Better Finder Rename, but there re many, some free.
