First noticed that when we tried to put Internet thru a satellite in 1994.
FTP would successfully complete its DATA transfer but the file would "mysteriously " have 1 or more bit error.
It was a time that we took FTP integrity for granted.
Even rsync failed. Had to fallback to XMODEM-16, et. al., then.
