|Some days ago I received a program from a friend of mine in the US. It was
|packed with Stiffit Deluxe a program which I am not the happy owner of. So 
|I tried to download it from several FTP-sites. But when I try to convert it 
|with Binhex (I use Binhex5) it goes on working for a while and then I get an
|error message that says: "CRC ($68F6) error". What is this, and what is
|wrong? I have been downloading stuff from several FTP-sites before, so I am
|used to it, but I don't think I have tried to download such big files as
|unstuffit-deluxe (>170k), could it have something with the size to do.
|Please help me because this have become a serious problem for me.........

Most files that are archived on FTP sites use BinHex 4.0, not 5.0, this could
be where you are running into your problem.

How many times did you FTP the file, did it do the exact same thing, in the
same place on two different files? Have you compared to different FTPed files
to see if there were any differences in them?

It might even be a corrupt file at the site that you are FTPing from.
