I found a specific instance where the ".dmg" extension wasn't
enough. When my application was downloaded from my site's web
server from Internet Explorer, IE was obeying the MIME type,
which my ISP didn't properly have set as data, causing the bytes
to load into the browser page. OmniWeb, on the other hand, paid
attention to the .dmg extension and worked fine.
After getting my ISP to add the appropriate MIME type, downloads
from my site worked fine under IE.
So it's a combination of both client *and* server....

Definitely agree with the disk image approach. Of course, for
maximum compatibility, also encode in MacBinary II. Again, if
configured correctly, the browser should automatically do the
decoding process. The user would then end up with a disk

mounted automatically.
There is no need to MacBinary a disk image; it has only a data
fork. Just make sure it has a ".dmg" extension, and their web
browser should open it upon downloading.
I've found DiskCopy's compression to be very good. Though I
haven't tested it, I suspect it uses zlib compression, as it
seems to compress things down quite nicely.
