The other night, my friend was sending me a video over the internet.
We tried http, ftp, and other protocols, using different download applications. It seemed to be corrupt, the same way, everytime. It wouldn't work, and had a different md5sum than the "good" version on my friend's computer. Eventually we got it working.

Two things are likely:
1. a firewall mangles your TCP streams
2. something is wrong between the driver and the NIC.

As I said in a previous email, I think this is it. Because a couple minutes after I sent my email, the upload worked perfectly.

3. An error source in the transmission path exchanging 0x00 0x00 against 0xff 0xff sequences will go undetected by TCP CRC.
"diff -u" onto "od"-output will help understanding your error pattern.
