Thats very easy:
1. call curl
# curl http://some.where/huge.file

2. during the transfer put the computer in Stand-By or Hibernate mode

3. wait 3-4 min

4. resume the operating sytem

result: download would hang but not abort with an error message. I assume that is reproducible some way else, but that worked all the time on my site.

yes that's correct, on windows vista, but I had similar problems with older versions and also on Mac OS X 10.5
