No offense intended. :-)

I'm but a young pup, I'm not used to using command-line FTP clients.
I've never
had to explicitly set a binary transfer mode in my life, it usually
worked automagically.

First time for everything I suppose :D

Yes, people unknowingly make that mistake a lot of times. But they usually understand the problem once it has been pointed out, and at that point I would hope they don't make it again. :-)

Right. :-)

But if you transfer in binary mode, the actual attributes in this case
should make it a no-op.

If it makes any odds, the binary file I pulled down from digiater.nl
via FTP was
in 512byte block size. I had to repair that to return it to the proper
block size using
the script I linked to but once I did that it worked a charm :)

Right. The block size is another issue/problem.
