Strange. So I had less than stellar performance when checking out via 
https:// myself, but never a stall or an abort.

I logged into freefall just now and ran the above command and it fetched 
with 34MB/s and took an overall of 2:45 min.

Did you just get very unlucky wrt. timing? I could imagine a lot of 
folks are checking out right now ...
