Subject: [PATCH] Detect hoster error-page downloads (<512 B) and trigger retry

Some hosters return tiny error responses (e.g. 9 bytes) with HTTP 200.
- downloadToFile: detect files <512 B, log content, delete and throw for retry
- Post-download: catch <512 B files even when totalBytes is unknown
- Logs the error-page content for debugging
