I had this BinSCII problem with the Axel F files.  I tried downloading those
first, and BinSCII took a very long time with the first $3000 bytes, then
put the next block in at $9000.  Every other BinSCII file tacks the blocks
on to the end of the last one.  I couldn't Unshrink the last Axel F file
either.
