Describe the bug
Unofficial part downloads don't work now that ldraw.org once again allows http downloads on the new parts tracker.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open a file that includes an unofficial part that isn't present locally
  2. Notice that download unofficial parts are corrupted (no line endings, and every other line missing).

I believe that the part download code has never worked when gzip wasn't enabled by the server. The new tracker does not enable gzip for unofficial part downloads at the moment.

Now that ldraw.org enabled gzip for unofficial part downloads, some work, but the following parts don't:

2676.dat
12893p01.dat

Fixed in LDView 4.5.
