Hi :) By the sounds of it one of the mirrors is misbehaving. I'm not sure how to choose different mirrors but if you can then choosing a French one or any other non-default one might solve the problem. Hopefully the websites team might solve the problem fairly soon.
My initial suggestions were to "scope out" the parameters of the problem. Wireless connections are often quite flaky flaky. Torrenting deals with flaky connections quite neatly by allowing partial downloads to be continued later on. To some extent just normal web-browsers can also help with that but torrenting is very much better at ensuring you get exactly everything you wanted to download. Normal web-browsers are not always perfect at that as they don't have constant checking and verifications built-in. Also they sometimes restart downloads rather than just continuing from whatever bits they did manage to get on previous attempts. Internet Explorer often seems to cause problems but the rest are usually reasonably good.
