if you do curl -D header.txt -O
http://ftp.task.gda.pl/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

you will see curl mistakes the first chunk of the file as being part of
the header! I believe if you glue these bits together you will get the
original file.

compare with wget -S
http://ftp.task.gda.pl/debian/dists/sarge/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz

I think there's something fishy with the content-encoding header. There
seems to be a null byte after the word zip.
