Strange! I bet the external is an ntfs. Do you suppose it reports sizes incorrectly? Did you try compare (cmp or diff)? md5sum? I think you said you checked md5sum (or sha1?) after download, right? So the hd version is probably the right size. Might be interesting try some experiments with other file sizes.
