Rick,

I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree. Binary vs ASCII does not
apply to HTTP transfers. Still, to answer your question, the default FTP
mode is set to binary. And my gftprc file is still set to B for .rpm
file transfers.

I've reported this to Brian Masney. In the mean time, I'm looking for a
mirror.
