Dunno that.  Instead of playing with binary files and figuring out why they
got corrupted,
it was less time consuming to downlaod them in a separate directory.  At
home, I
am using cable modem, which works amazingly fast and often faster then a T1
line, at work,
downloading the fonts directory take less then 30 sec for me.
