Tom:

I have a fix for this.  The Tempfile which is used to handle HTTP reads 
greater than 10k isn't reading in binary mode.  We'll release a 0.0.6 
tomorrow to fix a number of Windows (and Ruby 1.7) glitches.

In the meantime, you can simply increase the `size_limit' buffer inside of 
raa-install to buffer everything in memory.  Look for the line in 
`lib/raainstall/raaopen.rb':

  def initialize(basename='ruby-uri', size_limit=10240)

And increase the size_limit default to 128k or so.
