Not part of this, but I have experienced in the past sporadic download corruptions with users. I've never figured out the exact cause, but a reinstall has always solved it. It's been roughly 10-15 users out of 25000 or so purchases. My best guess is that some part of the distribution pipeline does not fully validate the app package and re-download it if it fails.

I've seen download corruption effecting apps from the Mac App Store.

This is a tough one, but I think that should be affecting.

It was a typo and I really think you should avoid correcting people's grammar on this forum. It doesn't add anything to the discussion.
