That would surprise me too. What were you using to download? Did you
have to resume the download at all?
Presumably you downloaded from the same site all three times, right?
I have run into problems with corrupted downloads while using the
resume download feature of certain software (not sure which it was,
though). Other than that, I too would assume this is very rare. TCP
has its own reliability checksumming, after all.
