Well, if you are running VMS, you can see the contents of BACKUP save sets using

BACKUP /LIST <save set name> /SAVE_SET

Usually, when you download a file, or files, the source location has some 
information on what the files are, and sometimes even some information about how 
to use the files.  Did you check out that information?
