FWIW, I have fetched the distfile repeatedly over the  past three days on a
variety of systems with no problems at all. Slow at between 600 and 800
kBps with my very well connected work system at the high end and my home
system at the low end. I am also getting it from www.graphviz.org.

Sounds like some sort of network issue at your location, though it could
also have been a transitive error at the source that most people, including
myself) never happened to hit.
