I finally got it working. I shut down the server and booted it up into WinPE. There I deleted the CAB file and the extracted directory for the failed 1606 download from the EasySetupPayload folder. Booted up the server normally and ConfigMgr was able to successfully download the 1606 update.
Why? I don't know. But it is working now.

Started with 1511 and upgraded to 1602 smoothly. Now the 1606 upgrade is stuck "downloading". According to the dmpdownloader log it downloads and extracts the CAB file successfully: "File C:\Program Files\Microsoft Configuration Manager\EasySetupPayload\c63b412d......cab has been extracted with 0" (I'm hoping that means with a return code of 0) That is immediately followed by these messages: Check if there is redist to download for update, c63b412d.... Download redist for update c63b412d.... ERROR: Failed to download redist for c63b412d... with command /RedistUrl http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=746986 /LnManifestUrl http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=746984 /RedistVersion 112015 /NoUI "\\<server>\EasySetupPayload\c63b412d-7c4b-4c0d-be8c-18fb35b2ff79\redist<file://%3cserver%3e/EasySetupPayload/c63b412d-7c4b-4c0d-be8c-18fb35b2ff79/redist>" . This last error message contains a few URLs, the one listed following the /RedistUrl leads to "ConfigMgr.Manifest.cab". I can drop that URL into a web browser and it downloads the cab without any problems. The other URL points to "ConfigMgr.LN.Manifest.cab" and again it downloads fine when I put it into a browser. I've been fighting with this since last night. I left it alone for overnight and it doesn't seem to get past this failure. I've tried restarting the SMS_Executive service. I've tried the PoSh script to move it to the fast ring. I've tried rebooting. Nothing seems to help. Any tips for getting around this?
