Yes, I've seen that other problem too. But in this case I don't see that
it can be a connection issue - at the point where the error happens the
download has completed and all the actions taking place are operations
on local files. And I don't think in either case is it necessary to
force another download. I just manually rename the files to remove the
".partial" or the "temp-xxx..." and they play to completion without problem.
