I was able to repeat this problem now:
# /usr/bin/curl --verbose -L -O --remote-time -g --max-redirs 2 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 300 -o 1843052.tar.gz -- http://sa-update.spamassassin.org/1843052.tar.gz

look at today's debug log says:

This looks that invalid file was downloaded from sa-update.spamassassin.org,
and while next curl invocation succeeded with exit code 0, the file was not
overridden:
# /usr/bin/curl -s -L -O --remote-time -g --max-redirs 2 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 300 -o 1843052.tar.gz -z 1843052.tar.gz -- http://sa-update.ena.com/1843052.tar.gz

# ls -l 1843052.tar.gz
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 286732 Oct 8 05:19 1843052.tar.gz
(the file size changed to 243 because of my tests).
further look at logs says that all failed downloads were from
sa-update.spamassassin.org:
Sep 28 07:43:07.888 [7018] dbg: http: /usr/bin/curl -s -L -O --remote-time -g --max-redirs 2 --connect-timeout 30 --max-time 300 -o 1842077.tar.gz -- http://sa-update.spamassassin.org/1842077.tar.gz

Oct 7 07:18:11.394 [30424] dbg: http: process [30427], exit status: 4608
btw, when repeating attempts to download from sa-update.spamassassin.org,
many of them failed.
It looks to me that:
1. sa-update.spamassassin.org has some rate limiting or problem with tcp/ip
(accelerator?)
2. the script does NOT remove downloaded file when download fails and curl
is NOT instructed to do so.
