Details:
When I point freeciv-modpack at the following modpack:
http://www.cazfi.net/freeciv/modinst/2.3/amplio.modpack
which, at time of writing, points to svn.gna.org (see task 7246), the
downloaded content is corrupted compared to the same content fetched manually
with wget.
The corruption looks a lot like HTTP "chunked" transfer encoding
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chunked_transfer_encoding>. For instance,
amplio/water.spec:

Fetching from svn.gna.org is particularly likely to trigger this, since the
content is served dynamically, which makes using chunked transfer make more
sense. Moving the Amplio content to download.gna.org might mask the problem in
this case. However, presumably, in principle any server could decide to use
this at any time.
I've seen the same behaviour on Windows (cproc's S2_3 build from patch #2812)
and Ubuntu Linux (an older S2_3 build, don't have exact version to hand).
