We have tried determining if there is a pattern to when the download fails. We haven't been able to find a pattern to it: she can often download large files, while smaller files fail. There might be a virus checking problem ... I will follow up on that idea. 

In terms of network connections, I've got this very same error popping up with a long list of diffent IP addresses. And I know it happens with her, when she logs in from home, or when she uses an office network. So the error sure sounds "network related," the logs show it happening on a lot of different networks.
