Comment (by cypherpunks):

 apparently, all versions seem to download sucessfully, it's just that some
 versions say they've succeeded and others that they've failed, but all of
 them write at least two html files at a time, one with data, one empty,
 but any filename with a latin-1 supplement unicode block character in the
 title results in what is a bad encoding, this seems to be true in the
 current version at least all the way back to torbrowser 3.6
