Sounds like you transferred the package in text mode to a system
with old-fashioned (ca. early 1960's) mechanical teletype CR-LF
line termination.  Try again using binary mode, and check the
downloaded file size against the size of the ftp server; they
should  be exactly the same.  If the downloaded copy is slightly
larger than the one on the source server, your ftp client altered
the file contents.
