I have no sense of what the problem might be.  However, here are two thoughts:

1.  If you are mystified by the crashes, look in Debugger class>>openContext:..., and you'll see some code that can be enabled (by changing a false to a true) that will write out the stack at the time of error on a text file.  Might help.  One of these days, I'll make it a simple preference.

2.  If it's not repeatable, then you might want to download the files using some other flaky software, and then fileIn carefully step by step from a FileList (or, better, a doit that looks at the numbers on the files).
