For the past few days, newsbin has been downloading (or saving) corrupted files.
The same files downloaded by Forte Agent have been just fine thoughout.
System specs:
AMD Athlon 5150, 8GB RAM, 64-bit Windows 7 Home Premium
C: 128GB SSD, 85GB Free (this contains the OS and Program Files)
D: 3TB HD, 2.3TB Free (all Newsbin and Agent data here)
Program Specs:
Newsbin 6.52
Agent 7.20
The basic symptom seems to be that newsbin is dropping single lines of uuencoded data.
To test this, I downloaded several files with Agent and Newsbin, created a hex dump (one byte per line), and then did a diff (details below).
In all cases, the number of bytes missing (in a section) from the file is either 45 or 90 bytes, which corresponds exactly with 1 (or 2) lines of uuencoded data.
Also, some part of newsbin seems to know that the file is broken, because the message list pane shows the green "paper" icon (partial message), rather than the blue "tick" icon for a downloaded post. Even when the download is "successful" (no apparent corruption in the image), newbin still displays the green icon.
This is a typical log for a single file download.

From reading other posts, I disabled my AV and still have the same result.
