My first thought is that you're sort of overcomplicating things or
reading things backwards. The issue is that [NSData
dataWithContentsOfURL:MyURL] is not returning what you expect.
Everything after that - in particular the fact that Buffer comes out
wrong - is an obvious result.
Out of curiosity, are the first two bytes that you get back in the
second case 1F and 8B?
If so, you appear to have run across a bug that was introduced 4+ years
ago:

BTW: You really should avoid using synchronous downloads if you can.
BTW2: In case one, these two lines are wrong:
NSError *TheError = [NSError alloc];
NSURLResponse *TheResponse = [NSURLResponse alloc];
You should never alloc without a subsequent init.... More im****tantly,
in the specific way you're using them, you should initialize the
variables to nil instead of allocating space; they're output arguments.
What you've got leaks.
