Try having your de-archiving program (SparkFS or whatever) loaded and
on the icon bar before you run FetchNS. This improved the success rate
to 100% here (admittedly on a sample of only 3 downloads) after having
exactly the problem you describe; I imagine something in FetchNS times
out while waiting for the archive to be opened.
Anyway it isn't too hard to download the archives from the Netsurf
site and manually install the program and I have reverted to doing it
that way.
