You have your ftp client setup to unzip the file on download.

You do not have to re-download. Also, there is an even better way to
install netscape.

first gzip the tar file that you have
move it to /usr/ports/distfiles
cd to /usr/ports/www/netscape45-communigator
make install

FreeBSD will take care of installation for you. The above presumes that
you have the ports collection installed. You do, don't you? :)

Ports are the very best way to handle software installation for FreeBSD.
