The difference is that one of the icons will get you the NZB file (uncompressed) and the other one a Zip file, with the same NZB file in it. This last one is because it saves you and the server a lot of bandwidth, because the files are a lot smaller. Down side is that you’ll have to take 1 extra step and unpack the zip file to get the nzb, and then open it with your newsgroup application.
