Errors on receive should be pretty rare. What is the number there after you attempt a long download? A short distance link (hamakor) will suffer less from such a problem compared to long distance link (kernel.org). I'd suppose that this is a faulty NIC if the number of errors is so high. It could also be a faulty port on your connection to the router.
