Is it possible that the files themselves are corrupted? Anyone successfully
downloaded one of these big files recently?
Just to confirm that this works fine, I started up an EC2 instance and
successfully downloaded this file:

I ended up with 5.4 GB of data, and an MD5 checksum of
802c79045801bfb5f77fab3170af8efc. Just to be sure the file was
uncorrupted, I ran it through bzcat and got a checksum of
