This sounds pretty weird.

Any chance you could email me (offlist) the file which you get after
downloading from that URL? I'm just downloading it now and I'd be
interested to see what actual differences exist between the files.

(If you email me a .exe file you'll get a bounce from my antivirus scanner
saying it's a bad file type, but ignore that; I can retreive the file from
quarantine.)

Antony
