No: I used binary upload both time.
(Unless my ftp client is broken, and I think not.)

The first example simply keeps the Windows eols,
which are present in the pickled file on my Windows machine.
This is the one created by pickle.dump.
This file unpickles just fine.

I altered the 2nd file before upload,
changing to the Unix eol convention.
This also unpickles just fine on my machine,
but in addition the urllib download of this
file unpickles just fine.
