beganovich Can someone tell me, why is .deb file downloaded for 3rd-parties? Take a look at Spotify example:
davidjharder Third party packages take binaries and other necessary program bits not built by Solus (third party) and copies them to various parts of your computer to give you a working program. Those binaries and other bits can be found in packages prepared for other linux distributions. For Spotify that package is a debian package.
