Konqueror and Saving FIles

I've used Netscape/Mozilla on the Mac for quite a while, since the Mac 
was by primary browsing machine. I've since considered having my Linux 
box play a more prominent role, and as such, I've begun using Konqueror. 
Generally, the developers have done some very good work here, but I've 
run into a problem that is making it somewhat of a pain. Both bzip2 
archives and tarballs are very common on the Linux platform, when I 
click on a download link, I'd like *more than anything else* to be able 
to, um, download the file. I don't want to extract it, I don't want to 
browse the contents of the archive. All I want to do is download the 
file *as is*- seems reasonable - click on a download link, and it 
downloads the file. Problem is, I can't figure out how to make this 
happen - the File Associations setting for the 'application' group says 
to 'Show file in separate viewer' (what ever that means), but oddly 
missing is a 'Save file to disk' option. Is there a way I can restore 
some sanity to this process by having it do what I expect it to do 
(download the file), rather than what it's doing now?

Thanks,

Tom
