The bottom line is that I was able to solve my large files problem by 
reverting to previous firmware on Linn Device.

Since there is nothing exceptional about these GiP radio download files 
I am very surprised that Linn, having issued a weak firmware update, are 
not jumping to put it right, but at least I was able to put things right 
for my purposes.  Many thanks to all who have contributed to my quest 
for a solution.

Finally for clarification I still have a problem with GiP radio 
downloads from 17 January 2017 but for a different reason.
