I ftp-ed it from ab20 as well and although I only played it for about 5 
minutes maximum, it worked for me.  I also just tested the archive with
"lharc t Cubus.lzh" on my Amiga here at home and it tested fine all the way
through.

I have ftp-ed a couple of other .lzh files lately that were corrupt but I
can't assume it was because of ab20 that they were corrupt.  The files do
have to pass through at least 3 machines (originator, ab20, your recipient 
ftp machine.....which in my case is not my Amiga so that makes 4 machines)
so the trouble could be in any place or in the data lines between any of them.
Just a thought.
