[Opensim-users] oar downloaded from the web failing

Some oar downloaded with a web browser fails to load (load oar cannot 
find magic number). The files are bigger that they should.

It appears that the downloaded file has been unziped on-the-fly and 
is actually a tar.

Solutions:

- Disable mime_magic_module on the server
- Use wget instead of a web browser
- gzip the file again (yes, this is silly)
- load oar http://.... directly from console

Distributing the oars as .tar.gz works but defeats the purpose of the 
'oar' extension.
