Attempt to download Big_Gear_scale.stl directly also fails with Network Connection Was Lost after 6.4 MB of 11.2 MB have been received.

Fixed, but I don’t know why.
Build worked today after git pull which updated vtkDICOM.remote.cmake.

I suspect it was a spurious network issue since it got 62%, but then failed on a timeout, rather than something related to vtkDICOM.
