Bug Description
We download files using wget, but the downloads cannot be guaranteed to be successful. Now, wget doesn't always report these failures (at least not in its exit code). We currently check that we didn't accidentally download a HTML error page and we check that we got a result file, but we can't know that it's not partial content, for example.

I guess, solving this is now possible, since Otto has created MD5 sums for files.
