   the 2GB downloaded mark with no perceptible glitch, the resulting file size is   
   the advertised 2.39 GB, the ISO opens successfully in 7-zip, and its SHA1   
   agrees with that given

   I tried two different tools.   
      
   Web browser.   
      
   Aria2c (since it supports reliable transfer).   
      
   And no, there is no FAT32 on the machine or the like.   
   No obvious excuses for the behavior.   
      
   I haven't had this problem in the past. This is new-to-me behavior.
