One possibility that has been suggested is that we could gzip these files. That would be a somewhat radical change - but so would any change to the file format so this may be the best option.
On the other hand the system has worked as is for quite some time. I would like to discover what has changed as that clearly represents a problem that must be corrected.

If that were the case then there is something wrong with either snf2check.exe and/or autosnf.cmd. The autosnf.cmd calls snf2check.exe to validate the downloaded file. If snf2check.exe found the downloaded file invalid, an error is suppose to be returned to keep it from going into production. So if I assume the file does get corrupted during the download, snf2check.exe must not be returning the correct value to indicate the file is bad, snf2check.exe hasn't changed in a long time.
So while I can't argue that the file is bad before or after download. I will try to watch the logs more closely and manually test the snf files that begin to generate bad_matrix errors to see if their bad at that time.
