Good call; it seems to have done the trick.
I wonder if you can use a utility like 'split' to chop the file in half,
and try downloading the first half, then the second half, to see which
half of the file contains the 'bad bytes'. If you keep doing this,
you'll eventually get it down to a small set of data that reproduces the
problem, and maybe you can use 'strings' or something to pull out a
pattern that you recognize as causing the problem.
Hey, it might work. :)
If anything, "asyncmap 0" should make any data-related problems worse,
not better. An asyncmap of 0 means that PPP will not attempt to avoid
any control characters in the data stream. However, I rather doubt that
this is the cause of your problem. The main characters that cause
trouble, ^S and ^Q, show up so often that you'd know by now if they were
the culprit. :)
