Probably, the full archive is quite big. It is also possible that there is a borked message file on the server itself, but I have no way of testing that quickly and I do not want to start a heavy download myself. You can go to each of the separate monthly pages and download that month’s archive from there. That is a bit more effort but should work. And if there is indeed a problem, at least it would be narrowed down to a single month.
