A bad WiFi adapter in his computer? A faulty driver or firmware? Who knows?
But he states that other downloads went fine. Still strange ...

Unless we walk-through with tcpdump I don't see a way to determine what the
real reason for the problem is. I'm at a loss.
As a side-note I'd like to hint to using LFTP for downloading. That is a
*very* persistent downloader and although its name implies FTP downloads it
works excellently for HTTP downloads. When downloading from archive.org I
often experienced trunkated downloads. The files seemed to have been completely
downloaded but actually were trunkated. LFTP, on the other hand, always picks
up where the transfer failed and eventually downloads a complete and usable
file.
Very useful is the "mirror" command of LFTP to download a whole set of files or
the contents of a subdirectory.
LFTP transfers survive even dial-up connections that frequently get
interrupted and need to be re-established.
While being at it with lftp it would be nice to see how the sessions go with a
tcpdump.
Eike - not a finder either
