If I redownload those files they

difference, some files still get corrupted. Using cmp -b on the corrupt
and the correct file show that the files differ in 1 byte. Output from
those 3 files:
correct1 corrupt1 byte 43330599, line 227755 is   7 ^G  47 '
correct2 corrupt2 byte 21769255, line 113448 is 302 M-B 342 M-b

No messages in logfiles whatsoever.

These are single-bit errors... I think it's unlikely that xfs is at fault. Maybe run some memory checking, or try a different underlying fileystem, volume mgr (or plain partition) or a different download tool? (I guess you've already done that last one)


Some other tests might narrow down the problem.
