Some possibilities:
 - we don't write the file atomically
   unlikely, you can't reference a deb till its in the index, and it
gets written entirely beforehand
 - ssl disconnect partway through - if using http/1.0 that counts as
'EOF' unless content-length was emitted
 - but in apt where content-length + early disconnect gives this error.
