 That's interesting. The file I downloaded and checked was the one
referenced in your build script,
http://docs.scipy.org/doc/numpy-1.6.0/numpy-user.pdf . But unless you
had deleted the existing numpy-user.pdf, it would have tried to
'complete' the download of what fetch saw as a 'partial file'.

This is, of course, something that the port should handle gracefully, but isn't.
