When I download one of the the new binary updates (e.g. XBMC-0.0.6.gz), the file I get (after extraction) is NOT a Unix executable file. It shows as a plain text document.

Does anyone know what's going on and how to use it?

Looks like I just answered my own question.

It turns out that when I download the files, they loose their permissions. All I have to do is open up a Terminal windows and type:

chmod +x XBMC-0.0.4 (or whatever the revision number is)

this sets the file as a Unix executable, and then I can run it.
