Comment (by mcs):

 We are still trying to reproduce the problem (trying on Windows 7 at the
 moment).  It does not seem to matter whether we update H-E first, or after
 the browser update, or concurrently.

 Are the failures with 4.0.8 -> 4.5.1 updates?
 Are many of the 4.5 -> 4.5.1 or 4.5 -> 5.0a1 incremental updates failing?
 Do the Apache logs tell us whether the entire incremental mar file was
 downloaded?

 If I have access to the Apache logs I can check the above myself.

 Since the 4.0.8 -> 4.5.1 incremental MAR effectively does rm -rf
 .../extensions/https-everywhere at eff.org and then adds the new files, Kathy
 and I do not think the root cause of this ticket is the H-E update.
