- 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.
