What's Up With The Downloads??

This has happened enough times now, that I figured I ought to ask, just for curiosity's sake. The last couple of weeks, it seems like anytime I download a large file (anything over 50mbs), that there's a 50% chance the finished zip file is corrupt. I get an error about the zip file not being valid literally half the time, and half to re-download the item again in order to get a file that I can actually install my content from.

Is anyone else having this issue, or is it just me? I'm on a pretty good cable connection, but I've had this happen from multiple networks (I work from a laptop - Toshiba Satellite), at multiple people's homes. Some cable networks, some DSL. I would expect it with DSL, as DSL is sometimes not a great connection, but I am not having this problem anywhere except Daz. Only with the Daz files is it happening.

So is it just me, or are others having this issue as well? And if it is just me, what the heck can I do about it, other than waiting to find out that the blasted file is no good and then re-downloading it AGAIN to get it in working order?

I've had this happen when I've had a dirty connection. There was an infrastructure issue in my neighborhood, but I was the only power user here, so it took a while to catch. Since that was fixed, I've not had the issue.

Yeah, I'm just trying to sort it out, because honestly, it's driving me batty, and it ONLY happens with DAZ downloads. I can download files upwards of 300mbs from ShareCG, or anywhere else, and this never happens, regardless of what network I'm on. Only with the Daz files does it happen, and it happens no matter what network I'm on. -_- It's driving me nuts! LOL

Is there any way it could be a(nother) CloudFlare glitch? Remember, the connection from your computer doesn't go direct to DAZ, it goes by way of your nearest CloudFlare server farm.
