Richard,

you were right. After downloading the bin file with the FireFTP client in
binary mode, no problem extracting the file anymore.
Upgrades went fine as well.

Thanks,
Rainer

Rainer -

Your posting doesn't say exactly how you downloaded the bin file.  Problems
using software downloaded with FTP are commonly due to the download not
having been performed in Binary mode.  Given that the bin file has a Feb 28
date, I would expect it to be in good condition (but nothing in life is
guaranteed).
