Default downloading slack 9.1

hi everyone-

I need to re-DL slack, because I kind of lost the CDs I had. I have one
problem, though. I've tried using ncftp and regular ftp, but whenever I
use mget * to DL everything in the folders I need, the ascii files are DLed
as binary! All the "already binary" files such asthe packages and stuff are
fine, but the txt files that go with each package and the md5 sum file, etc
are all DLed as binary, so when I go to do a MD5 check on the folders, I
get a fail on every single one of them.
Is there an auto-sense feature on mget to automaticallly see which files are
binary and which are ascii? How can I circumvent this problem?

thanks
