Their is a notice on their website "*NOTICE---* for error-free downloads
use the FTP Server <ftp://tgftp.nws.noaa.gov/fax>" which sort of implies
that their http downloads are error-filled and it is not Mozilla's
fault. If I go to the FTP Server it works(a randomly chosen tif loads
in Quicktime when I left click). Though if I locate the specific tif
link to for North America Plot 1(QYAA00.tif), it also opens broken just
like it does when clicking on the link on the main page.
