You should validate the files you download before trying to use them. Check the
information at:
http://www.kernel.org/signature.html
for how to go about this.
Use ftp(1) or wget(1) to do the downloads. Do _not_ try to get the files using
any web browser, such as Netscape, because they are known to mangle files that
they don't understand.
