This may well be a bug in Firefox or some other userspace component, however it
is serious enough that the kernel developers ought to know about it.
I tried several times to download a Linux kernel tarball; each time Firefox
reported that the entire file was downloaded, however the file in my filesystem
was quite a lot shorter than the size reported at kernel.org.
I speculated that Firefox had a caching bug, and so closed all my tabs one by
one, then closed the window. The file was still incomplete.
I launched a new Firefox, retried the download, still incomplete.
I shut down my box, booted it, then was able to download successfully.
Perhaps the problem has something to do with Hibernate; I do know there were
some problems in the past with hibernating my motherboard, a SuperMicro
X7DWA-N. Under a much earlier kernel, with Fedora 7, while I could go into and
out of hibernation, after coming out the networking did not work.
With my present Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.1 64-bit install, I've been using
hibernation quite a bit.
I am just now seeing some evidence that I may have a more serious problem,
perhaps I have bad memory or something. I'm going to run Memtest86.
I'm using an AMCC3ware 9690-SA 4-disk RAID5, with battery backup so as to
enable write caching.
