It appears that the English version of the help file is corrupted. First I get 
ftp download errors (binary download) for lines that consist only of a 
carriage return.  I did it twice and got the same message.  Next when I try to 
bunzip2 the file I get 

bunzip2: Data integrity error when decompressing.
        Input file = gimp-help-2.6.0-html-en.tar.bz2, output file = gimp-
help-2.6.0-html-en.tar

I can keep trying, but is this a known defect?
