both.

Our ISP's (more on this later)

The data is 8-bit clean. I managed to find a site that I could ftp
the file from. That was fine but the one downloaded via squid was
corrupted. Doing a bit of conversion and diffing on the binaries
showed a portion of what looks to be another http session embedded in
the corrupted file about a Meg into the file - not on any "magic"
number boundary though. By a process of elimination I found that by
telling my squid server to go direct to the site using always_direct
the problem went away. I don't know what our ISP is doing but they
seem to have broken at least some file downloads. I have complained
to them and given them details. Hopefully they will fix it soon. I
have fixed some other problem downloads to go direct to the server
from our squid and the files from those servers are fine too so I am
pretty certain our ISP's squid is not well. Unfortunately there is
not much I can do about that :-(
