Thanks. I was wondering because yesterday i wanted to test backup-files
(tars) being transmitted via the net, which kinda failed. When i started
downloading the file it was all right. At about 2mg/10mg windows moved it to
my desktop as if it was fully downloaded. When opened it got a corrupted
message from winrar (which can't write to the tar only read from it). So i
thought that could be the thing. The tar file did have a tone of linefeeds
on the end...
