[comp.sys.mac.system] Can't un-hqx image files!

Help!

I'm not able, it seems, to un-binHex files from several ftp sites.
I've recently downloaded several of the 6.0.7 system disk image files from
apple.com, but get a CRC error when I try to un-BinHex 'em.  I've used unsit
on our Sun-SLC (vers 1.5) and tried the "Decode BinHex File..." routine
(result is "Can't verify integrity of source... use carefully" error).
I also got a copy of BinHex 4.0 from sumex; it bleeps and gives me a CRC$ error
message.

I've tried downloading these files several times and several ways, both
to the Sun and directly to my Mac (via MacTCP/Telnet).  I was successful
in decoding the two Utilities disks and Printing Tools disk images, but
no luck on the System Tools and EtherTalk installer images. 

I also am having the same difficulty with Eudora from Berkley.  

Any ideas?  I tried shortening the file names; I think someone suggested that
as well. 

Thanks, netters!
