i've noticed that at times netscape downloads in default ascii mode
rather than binary mode. hence the file has lots of carriage
returns/line feeds inserted where just cf should be. cr/lf instead of
cr. something like this. hence the file is bigger and unusable.
you need to download the file via ftp with the "bin" mode set.

I was in the unfortunate position of having to download a win .exe
I did the 7MB download via netscape/linux thence dos ftp to winnt. It
wouldn't execute, so I did it again from the winnt box and it worked :-(
I noticed that the file I downloaded via my linux box was slightly LARGER
than the other one. Any suggestions why the .exe wouldnt execute?
PS: After installing a simple sound editing application, winNT demanded
that I reboot the system! They call this a server? what a joke.
