this is a corruption of data (most of time big ones, 300M files) which happens randomly , sometimes, the file got via a ftp client is wrong (CRC) though the file is ok on disk on the server.
A ssh or vsftp transfer give the right file.
From my point of view, the error occurs only when i use the ftp server, say vsftpd 2.0.6
I have ubuntu 8.04

any help appreciated. This file corruption problem is weird...
First off, make sure you're transferring in binary format.
