The file being downloaded (H1_1048.9) became corrupt during transfer.

No much you can do. Dialup users are more prone to this error that anyone else. The client should retry the download automatically, until it permanently gives up (after many failures) or succeeds.

Since the file became corrupt, your system didn't actually do any processing on it, thus no credit claimed/granted.
