Yes, re-download it. You probably did an ascii copy and you lost your 8th bits. Now none of the checksums or crc agree because the file is different. You have to use binary and sometimes you have to force a binary copy (ftp or etc). Ftp on some systems default to ascii and it basically does and a.and.0x7f to the data.
