I get this from time to time, alternatively I get a file with a 
-temp-xxxx suffix where xxxxx is a random series of numbers. IIRC it's 
been put down to connnection issues. I've read that repeating the 
download instruction is supposed to force the correct actions but that's 
not worked for me. Forcing a download usually does the job though.
