Just further confirmation: I downloaded it and had a quick look at it.
The end of the archive appears to have been chopped off.  The Binary
II header indicates that the file is longer than it actually is, and
YANKIT reported an error when it got to the second Timeout file.  Most
of the files are OK, but I don't want to install a partial update in
case there are cross-dependencies.

The file size (including Binary II header) is 319432 bytes, which isn't
a multiple of any sensible power of two, so I don't know where the rest
of it went.

The Binary II header says that there should be 326725 bytes after the
header, for a total file size of 326853 bytes.  There are 7421 bytes
missing.
