Subject: [DUG] Offtopic - Broken/Interrupted transfers

1st 2 attempts failed very quickly - started downloading normally then the
progress indicator zipped all the way to the end. Resulting file is 40-50K.
3rd and 4th attempts went fine.

I see other people are reporting it's the first attempts that fail, too.
Must be some sort of caching or spin-up thing.
