I have a theory.

It's possible that archive.org , archived some of the downloads
when the Microsoft servers had the "download bug". There was a
period of time, where Microsoft servers were truncating downloads.
A symptom, is both parties to the download are satisfied the download
is complete. But the file can be short, by up to a gigabyte.

I've just started downloading a digitalriver sample, like yourself,
and when I get back, we'll see whether this one is "regular size".

The damage then, could actually be recorded on the server that way.

If you believe the left column is size-in-bytes here, then this
list is anomalous as well, and may be stored (incorrectly) on the
server like that. Maybe these weren't DigitalRiver, but were
TechBench or similar. The collection may be "digital_river", but
that does not mean Archive.org crawled digitalriver.com itself. Some
user uploaded these as far as I know.

https://ia801300.us.archive.org/30/items/digital_river/xxx17index_file.txt

So rather than a protocol error, the content on the server may
simply be damaged, and I've misinterpreted this as a protocol problem.
