i suspect those files are put out intentionally by anti-sharing crusaders...whatever. Its very unlikely it happend within the download process. It was either ripped incorectly (VERY common) or was intentially fuxored.
I did some further testing on my idea, it works but there is a downside: the hex text file becomes about 66% bigger than the original file. compression helped a little but the file is still about a meg bigger than the original file. Plus there would be no real way to share these files short of p2p services (free web hosting doesnt allow files over 1 meg to be posted.).
I ask a friend of mine to design a program that would reduce the hex text file a bit to make my idea somewhat workable, but seems like more trouble than its worth. i'll keep you posted if i have any breakthroughs.
In the meantime, use BitTorrent!
