At the risk of sounding perverse you could do block-level repair on this by having someone put the same file up for Bittorrent somewhere, and David could start the torrent, pause his "repeat" download, install a copy of previously-downloaded file, restart his Bittorrent client and have it download/repair the corrupted blocks for fairly small bandwidth consumption.
Having builds available via bittorrent or some other p2p tool would be very useful when the dev team in in China. Bandwidth at the factory is limited on per IP basis. If the builds were available via p2p with swarming then the team could peer each other and we all would download chunks in parallel. We do this sometimes manually now by cutting up the file into chunks and each of us download a chunk.
I started to do this one trip but got stuck trying to find a text mode bittorrent server that you could work with via ssh and then get it working. I'm only a casual bittorrent user.
