in thread Net::FTP on OSX10.3 corrupting files

Yes, the files are slightly different sizes, and diff-a spits out a ton of junk (remember, they're mpeg4s, and 40+MB each.. )

Comparing the strings output, they starts out similar, and with some binary looking characters in them, too..

43810573 Nov 06 16:25 x.mp4 (Net::FTP)
43811351 Nov 06 13:45 y.mp4 (Fetch)

%> head *.txt
==> x.txt<==
ftypmp42 mp42isom kmoov lmvhd çġtrak \tkhd $edts elst çmmdia mdhd
==> y.txt <==
ftypmp42 mp42isom kmoov lmvhd çġtrak \tkhd $edts elst çmmdia mdhd

had to stop the strings, cuz each file was generating around 24 MEGs of "strings"!!

Clearly, fetch and Net::FTP are not doing the same thing!
