the linux ftp client is probably in ascii-mode. set it to "bin"

everything should be fine.
or is your filesystem just full?
Neither. I did point out that I'd used "bin" mode :)
Anyway, it turns out to have been caused by a disk problem:
It was *disk*. Linux kernel 2.0.36 provoked a
known bug in the E/IDE
CMD640B controller - caused random file corruption. This would've
occured
whichever Linux distribution you used (dselect kept segfaulting and
dying
with assert failures all over).
A buddy of mine found it....awesome piece of Sherlock Holmes
work.....
