Yes, it seems to be an odd combination of circumstances that make this
happen - I am wondering if there is a race condition that may be
happening.

I, for one, can say that it was definitely a problem caused by an
interaction between our squid cache and the ISP's squid cache. When I
changed our external squid cache to always go direct files that were
previously _always_ corrupted were downloaded successfully. During my
testing I tried bypassing our internal squid caches and used our
external squid - the files were corrupted when the external squid
parented from the ISP.
