When downloading files from an Ubuntu mirror, be sure to download the files in binary mode, not text or automatic mode. I'm not sure how to do this. Any help?.

When you download the files from an Ubuntu mirror, they are automatically downloaded as "binary".

You would have the issue of downloading in "ascii" (opposite of "binary") if you are using Windows XP and you are trying with the command prompt "ftp" program.

I am using a laptop pc with Windows XP SP2 and IE. When I go to a mirror
site for PowerPC
{http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/feisty/main/installer-powerpc/cu
rrent//images/powerpc/cdrom/} (I want to use my Mac PowerBook G4 to run
Ubuntu Linux),and click on the file initrd.gz it auto downloads and I
can save it where I want. When I click on the vmlinux file it opens note
pad and tries to create a txt file then locks up. What am I doing
wrong?.
