Uhm, I hesitate to even ask this, but did you specify binary mode
(typing "bin" at the ftp> prompt) when you ftp'd the file?

I'm not aware of anyway to convert a binary file accidentally
downloaded in ASCII mode, I think data is actually lost if Binary mode
is not used on a binary file.  If this is the case you will probably
need to download it again.

Let's hope I'm wrong!
