This happens on InternetExplorer when the mimetype is not registered for that extension in the server AND the file being downloaded is a tar.Z file (tar.z). Internet Explorer gets confused because it didn't get a mime type for it, but it sees it is a tgz format, so it treats as a tgz format and brings up the bad name request, ignoring the name in the download request itself.

Your websphere admin will need to map .Z to mimetype application/x-gzip . Hopefully that will fix the problem.
