It would have been MY guess that binary is perfect, but crap, this
is horribly impractical.  When I download a file, I want to get what 
is up there, and I would presume EVERYONE will just "select" the file 
and download it - and expect to get the right stuff.

If YOU surf a site and want to pick up a .BAT, would you expect it to
run when you got it ? 

I guess we will have to select the proper modes for each file, or trust
the FTP client to make the correct decisions. 
Of course it won't know what an .AH is or a .htp...
Experiment time. <G>
