Sure, it's possible.  Just like it's possible for files to get corrupted
during your download.

There's an MD5SUM for the package in setup.ini.  You can check that value
against the value you get for the package.  That's essentially what
"setup*.exe" does though.  It sounds to me like it was reporting that
case to you (i.e. download incomplete).
