That works.
Of course, you're going to expect people here to look at 50 lines of code.
Oh well..

That looks to me like the client just went away in the middle of the download.
If so, then you're out of luck, there is nothing you can do to prevent that (I mean other 
than displaying interesting information while the download is taking place, so that they 
don't feel like going away.)

If your point is to avoid the lines in the log, then I guess you could just plan for it 
and catch that exception nicely, and just write in the log "damn, he's gone" or something.
