I was somewhat puzzled about this for a while, too. I originally tried to
use the download-all-the-bits-by-itself installer (for which it was clear
what it was from the filename), but after about the seventh time it fucked
up I decided there must be a way to just download the whole thing and
install it. After a bit of looking I found the aforementioned large file,
but like Christian I was bemused as to what the "sea" bit meant.

And there was no helpful index.txt file to help me out either. Woe, woe.

Anyway, after discovering that my helpful housemate had already downloaded
it, I installed. It's actually pretty good (I never tried NS6, so don't
know if it qualifies as a huge improvement). I've been tracking and
building the mozilla source tree for... *thinks* quite a while now.... but
recently needed to do some https: stuff, and couldn't work out if it was
possible to build mozilla with https support, so NS6.01 was the next best
option.

Must say it's a fair bit more stable than the CVS-mozilla builds I've been
using, too. But then you'd expect that from a "release" build.
