No, generally you can't fix binary files downloaded in ASCII mode. The CR
-> CR/LF transformation is irreversible for binary files. That is, there
may have been some (valid) CR/LF's in the binary file at first, which will
then be converted into CR's by the reverse transformation.
If you're lucky it might work, though.
