One possibililty is that the files were downloaded as ASCII
files, not binary. Most ftp servers display a message similar to
"Opening BINARY mode data connection for <file_name>" when they start
downloading a file. Ftp servers on UNIX machines usually default to
binary, but some ftp servers or clients will default to ASCII. At the
ftp prompt enter "binary" to make sure you get a binary download.
Did you download using DOS or Linux?
