Why do IPSW files download as zip files?

I have tried that but it stays as zip file, i even tried it on a computer that does not have a winzip software, but XP by default detects it as a compressed (folder)

i have downloaded the IPSW from iclarified iClarified - iPhone - Where To Download iPhone Firmware Files From

can you help pleasee

I found a solution for that.

1. From control panel
2. Go to Folder options
3. Click on view tab and uncheck (hide extentions for known file types)
4. go the IPSW file (which is shown as zip) and change the .zip to .IPSW
