The bug is more difficult to reproduce when downloading random files from the Internet, but it does occur every once in a while. This difficulty may have something to do with the speed or bandwidth of the download, ie. the probability of the bug showing up is less likely with low download speeds.
Ignore my comment #62.

@Peter P.
Could you try this instead:
On machine 1: $ nc -l -p 8080 -q 10 -v -v < ubuntu- 9.10-server- amd64.iso 9.10-server- amd64.iso
On machine 2: $ nc <machine 1 address> 8080 > ubuntu-
And then compare the md5sums. Try also reversing the test.
