Anyway, I don't understand how a file can be corrupted during download.
I had my ADSL speed doubled to 1 MB/300 kbps just over one month ago and
for about a week, until the lines were 'tweaked' for the new speed, my
average download speed was only about 480 k and with a lot of errors
(packets lost). But even then, no downloaded file was corrupted.
