There seems to be a number of people having this problem. So here's my solution:

uuencode the file before downloading it, then download the uuencoded
version.  When the file is on you pc disk use the PC version of
uudecode (foudn in the start up kit in comp.binaries.ibm.pc) to decode
the file back.  UUencodeing makes the file into a pure text file,
which I can usually download with no problems.
