 Those lines will not fix the problem at

You'll need

 No, it did not get an EOF.
The server cut you off.
(or you changed to another page during the "background D/L")
Do the D/L again. (and again if needed untill the server quits cutting
you off)

 I just got the whole file no problem.

 *All* files are placed in the cache directory first.
 
 They won't be placed into the D/L directory until the Save button is
pressed after the "Saveas" page appears.

This will only happen if you place this line in mime.cfg

text/plain        RAR

 If you want them to go to the D/L directory automatically,
get Bernie's program called ACOPY.EXE
