Subject: Can't fetch a file -- weird byte patterns?

Interesting; I can't seem to fetch boot-unstr2.fs from
NetBSD-1.4/i386/installation/floppies on the FTP site. Has anybody
else run into this? It stops about 300 bytes from the end of the
file. My hunch would be that, somewhere between there and here (here
== avicom.net, via Cable & Wireless), there's a router that's puking
on a particular byte pattern. I can grab the .gz version of the file
without any trouble.
Not having run into one of these before, does anybody have any advice
on figuring out where the problem lies?
