Chrome does it too. As does outlook, Firefox, possibly a bunch of other things. I think you'll find that the stream is zone-identifier. It can contain a value of 1 to 4, where each corresponds to a list of Windows' security zones. (Restricted sites, internet sites, local Intranet, and trusted sites from 4 to 1 respectively. There's a fifth option, zone 0, which is "local computer", but it's unused.)
This is the source of the prompts in Windows that say "this file came from the Internet, are you sure you wish to run it?".
