"Config backup" 4.1.8 zip file won't unzip

I've also noticed this problem. You can extract the contents of the zip file using a 3rd party program e.g. Stuffit Expander.
As mentioned you restore by uploading the zip file. If you extract the contents of the zip file and make changes you have to be careful to zip it back up the right way or else you'd restore files to e.g. /_READYNAS_CONFIG-nas-XX-XX-XX-20120224-103034/etc/passwd instead of /etc/passwd
Perhaps try a different web browser to download the Config Backup as I guess it might be incompatible with the current version of Safari.
