You can often do more or less ugly post-processes of the file, if you know
exactly what system you got the file from.

The only *real* and sensible solution is to fix libcurl to support ASCII
transfers correctly.

Quoting section 3.1.1.1 in RFC959:

             The sender converts the data from an internal character
             representation to the standard 8-bit NVT-ASCII
             representation (see the Telnet specification). The receiver
             will convert the data from the standard form to his own
             internal form.
