Maybe you weren't but since packages are just a stream of bytes if
setup.exe stops downloading them it isn't the package's fault.  It's
setup.exe's.  Since lots of people are downloading packages, and since
packages are just a stream of bytes that get copied to disk, the problem
still points to an issue on your side if a download stops halfway
through.

"Your side" might be something as simple as bad connectivity with the
mirror that you've chosen so trying another mirror would make sense.
