ncftp opening in text mode?

[Lapo Luchini]

I doubt 'ncftp' can actually be reading the files in textmode, or else 
every binary transfer would be broken, but does anyone find another 
explanation?
(notice that the FTP server is Windows based, but it wuold be crazy to 
convert received files... moreover index.html already has 
windows-line-endings also in local, and of course the local drive is 
mounted binmode)
