I have had NO problems with tar or gz files in winzip... it has worked
flawlessly for AGES. (Except for the fact that due to the format it uses
a temp directory and actually untars the whole thing to be able to view
the file, but that's another matter)

I think this is much more likely to be the cause. Try and use some other
FTP program and get the file. And see to that you use "binary" transfer.
