John,

You can grab: 

  ftp://ftp.remotesensing.org/pub/libtiff/tiff-v3.5.2.tar.gz

I believe the problem you are encountering is a common one with Netscape, and
perhaps some other browsers, on Windows.  It is doing CR/LF translation on
the binary file as it is doing an http download.  This shouldn't be a problem
with ftp downloads. 

It is my intention that at some point in the future, all the www.libtiff.org
downloads will be available off the ftp.remotesensing.org ftp server. 

Best regards,
