As many users must have reported, an error occurs sometimes when trying to download extensions or themes, saying 

Cannot download file at: 
*url*  
because: download file hash (possible download corruption)

I just noticed that it happens only when a login is required. "normal" downloads succeed as usual (same thing if I download the theme from the creator's site). I also tried clearing the cache or dragging the jar file into a windows, but it reports the same error.
