I use a 657MB file for my test.
I have not focused on the downloading test before, but I also encountered
the file size inconsistent behavior on my board(Socionext Developerbox).
At the 15 trials of downloading the same file, unexpected file
transfer behavior occurred.

Packets received 475093, Transfer Successful
Bytes transferred = 687929344 (2900f800 hex)

Packets received 475105, Transfer Successful
Bytes transferred = 687929344 (2900f800 hex)

Packets received 475116, Transfer Successful
Bytes transferred = 687929344 (2900f800 hex)

Packets received 475096, Transfer Successful
Bytes transferred = 55088883 (34896f3 hex)       <-- size is wrong
