I've tried most of the suggestions, When the file is FTP'd to the site,
the file is fine and un-corrupted. It is only when it is downloaded it
becomes corrupted. I have changed the system so that the source file is
compressed to a zip file and it downloads fine now.

Many thanks for all your help and suggestions.
