If possible, download to a Mac rather than to a PC. Suffix '.hqx' files should be safe, but there is software to ease the transition of Mac resource forks if you are obliged to use a PC to download other file types. Transfer the files to a Mac from a PC using floppies, if you do use floppies and a PC, that have been initialized as PC floppies on a Mac. Last of all, decode (unstuff or whatever) the software and write the floppies for use with the PB on a Mac under System 7 (or 8 at a pinch), using an older version of StuffIt (5.5.1 or older). Alternatively, if the files are not .smi, preferably do not decode them before they arrive on the target PB 520, or use a 68K Mac for the job. This is an ultraconservative protocol, but neither PPC Mac nor PC can then get at (damage or remove) the files' resource forks.
