It's usually .arc files that behave like this.
If you think about it, what a browser thinks is in its window is always
HTML. So if you save it as text you are actually modifying the
downloaded source. Save it as HTML instead (however odd this might seem)
and what you get is the actual unmodified source file, which will then
load into SparkFS (assuming it's an archive).
