Be patient; I think it's un-tarring this gigantic tar file on demand to generate the list.
I'm now working on my 16901A rather than the 16902B I previously mentioned.
As it turns out, being patient isn't enough. When I try to download any of the recovery DVD .iso files from the tarball file list, I can only download a little over 1GB, out of any of the 2+GB images, before Internet Archive closes the connection with no error reported, resulting in a truncated file. The exact length varies a bit, but I think what is happening is that it hits a time limit.
You could try curl, which has the option of resuming at a specific location. If you do that, I would test out on some small pieces first. Download first 1 MB, then the 2nd 1 MB, then see if you can concatonate them to create the same as if you download the first 2 MB in one piece.
