With the advent of Gatekeeper, OS X now uses the quarantine extended attribute to warn you that the file or application was downloaded from the internet. This can be an annoyance for end users if you are offering files or applications to them and the quarantine attribute is present on the file. To get around this you can remove the quaratine attribute from the command line. Rich Trouton has a handy post describing how to do this on his blog.
