Compare the file sizes at each step of the way - see if the size
changes, or where the size changes. You could use MSH (messydos -
available on Aminet) to read low-density DOS disks directly into the
amiga without using the janus stuff. Of course, how could you grab it?
Also, how do you download? IF you use ftp, make sure that it is in
binary mode NOT ascii mode.
