Uh, why do you set this? RETR is the normal download command.

Has carriage return where? In the contents? And you say the original file on
the server doesn't have this?

That tells the server to send it as ASCII, and it could affect newline
translations etc, sure.

libcurl uses TYPE I by default unless you set it to do ASCII.

I don't understand what you're trying to do. libcurl gets the file using the
FTP protocol. I think you're trying to do some translations of file contents
that the FTP protocol doesn't do automaticly for you.
