At a glance, it looks like whatever you're doing to download the file is
saving the whole webpage on which you've posted it, not just the file
itself.
If you've got lots of files to distribute you may want to use the ZIP
function to create a ZIP file, distribute that ZIP file instead of each
individual file, and have the students use the UNZIP function to extract it
to the appropriate folder.
