I have an auto updater socket script. It clear a mrc file and overwrites it from the file on my webserver. One file is the protections file and it has code to watch for a clear flood.

if ((
* isin $1-) || (* isin $1-)) {

When I download this, it loses the characters and leaves me with broken code.

if ((

isin $1-) {

Any ideas how I can get past this and still transfer the file through a socket?
