That is something you have to ask your browser vendor.  The povray.org 
server has no influence over what your browser tells you about a file you 
download.  The povray.org server also has no way of preventing an incomplete 
download or reporting errors to you while downloading - only your browser 
can check this as it is the only piece of software running on your computer 
knowing what the status of the file you download is.  When the Windows 
Explorer sees the file you downloaded, even if it is just partial, it may 
well be that enough data was transmitted to make the file valid for Explorer 
and it can even show an icon. However, it has no way of knowing what is 
really contained in the file.
