The downloaded zip is NOT the same size as the one on the server. The one on the server is SMALLER.

For example, commenting out the "unlink" lines of the code to leave the files as-is on the server, then comparing them, finds that whereas on the server it shows 2,002,621 bytes in the zipped file, the downloaded file shows 4,568,860 bytes, and unzip claims an additional 942,843,300 bytes are missing, despite the fact that the unzipped .txt file on the server had only 12,145,337 bytes. Irritatingly unexplainable, so far.

Yes, the file starts with "PK".
