It's not you, it's your virus-scanning ftp proxy.

Very likely.. yes... I was behind the company firewall (and all other thingies)

Someone thinks security tools are bad for you.

;-)

Do you have the same problem when you use http instead?

yes

If not, or if you can simply use ftp without the
proxy, fine. If you can't go around it (your firewall blocks or diverts
all outgoing ftp transactions), you'll have to bring it in from
elsewhere.

You were righ! I've DL the file at home without a problem.

Thanks for the hint
