I confirmed this after comparing the md5 checksums distributed in the CHECKSUM.MD5 file (and yes, the files were downloaded in binary mode :-) ). ftp://unix.hensa.ac.uk/mirrors/walnut.creek/ does not have this problem. I hope this information saves someone a very long and ultimately futile download. I've mailed the admins at @doc.ic.ac.uk seperately.
