I seem to remember that, long ago, I occasionally had this problem.  I seem=
 to remember that sometimes I could get a complete download by using a mirr=
or that was far away (for me, Europe or Australia).  My speculation as to w=
hy this worked was that most people who might use the mirror were asleep.  =
It might be worth a try.  YMMV.

Other things one might try:
  -  Separate downloading and installing.
  -  Download only one package at a time.
Again, YMMV.

Good luck.
