GC exporting as ZIP file, rather than .FIT

I just noticed yesterday that Garmin Connect (MacOS) is exporting the data from an activity as a .zip file, rather than the original .FIT format. When did this start, and is there a setting that I can make it simply export the .FIT?
I ask this because I like to import my activities into SportTracks 3, (full version, not the scaled down web version), and now I have two files for every activity, the .zip, and the extracted .fit.
Anyone?

I tried the Export Original feature just now using the Safari browser on my Mac (running OS X 10.11), and a FIT file – not a ZIP file – was deposited into my Downloads directory.

You're right. Checking the settings in Safari, I noticed that somehow the "open safe files after downloading" checkmark was removed. Probalby because I need the .zip file to update the Suunto..
