Safari Automatically unzips files upon downloading

Question

Safari Automatically unzips files upon downloading

I know there is a way to stop Safari from auto unzipping files when I download them... but, I can't find the setting. I want the files to download as zip files and NOT to auto uncompress.

When you look at the General Preferences page of
the Main Safari Preferences pull down menu,
look down under "Remove Download list" .
See the "Open "safe " files after downloading" box.
Is it checked? If so, uncheck it.

I think this is what you're looking for.
