It could still be the server at fault (sorta) if the new server has different timing than the old which is resulting in client side errors which in turn result in re-download.
I've seen various timing issues, etc that have caused disconnect problems as well. This really bit us once in the past where someone posted something huge to about 20 users. These users ran into trouble with the data not transfering in time or the data being too large to transfer properly over their VPN connections. That took some tracing to find out why. Increasing the server timeouts and updating some older VPN software fixed the problem, but those users ran into the redownload the world problem rather badly.
