Summary:What the...?

For the past couple of weeks I've been having problems with the downloads from
the mac binaries and no one has been able to come up with a solution yet.  When
I download one of the files and try to UnBinHex it I keep on getting CRC$ errors
and the job fails.  This happens with both BinHex 4.0 and 5.0.  If I use Stuffit
1.5.x it will UnBinHex them, but with a warning that the file might be damaged.
When I try to unStuff'em I get the message that the Resource Header is trashed
and the job aborts.

I've talked with the system administrator here and he has no idea why things
aren't working.  BTW, I have tried Red Ryder, VersaTerm, and Kermit for down-
loading the files, both on a Mac Plus (over the phone @ 1200 baud), and on a 
IIx with a direct line running at 9600 baud (FYI, in case it helps).  I'm
getting REALLY frustrated (I want GateKeeper and MandelZot!!!), so if anyone
can come up with some suggestions I would be very greatful.

Thanks...
