The file is fetched and saved in text-mode in stead of binary mode. Edit 
urllib.py, look for all makefile() and open() calls and give them flag 'rb' or 
'wb'.

This isn't completely correct either, since text files arrive on your mac with 
the end-of-line convention of the remote system, but there's little to be done 
about it. At least your binary files will be ok.
