This is just a guess ... but check the copy you downloaded and see if it is
the EXACT same size as the one on lrp.steinkuehler.net . I just checked the
download and found that Charles' Web server doesn't know that extension
"upx" refers to a binary file ... it identifies it as a text file. This
means that Windows-based browsers will have problems downloading it
correctly -- Netscape will definitely get it wrong (I just tried), and IE
may or may not get it right (IE tries harder than Netscape on this score but
isn't infallible).

If this is the cause ... Charles, you really should fix this on your end
(actually, you should fix it whether or not it the cause in this particular
instance -- this problem occurs over and over with http downloads). If that
isn't it, I don't know what else to suggest.
