Am still puzzled why Netscape would interpret the linefeeds as data . . .
This is a standard problem with downloading files that aren't in the server's "MIME types" list.
For a while, Empeg's own support site didn't have the ".upgrade" file in its MIME types, so anyone downloading an upgrade file with Netscape got a corrupted file.
You never know when it's going to happen, because any server could have its MIME types screwed up.
My solution? I've quit downloading files with web browsers altogether. I use
GetRight exclusively for all my downloads. It never has this problem.
