I am not aware of past troubles with that, nor with protocol
mismatches. Asking you to enable the xrdcp debug level seems overkill,
since you are experiencing this problem quite rarely. Just a question,
does it happen in specific positions on the file (i.e. near the start or
the end) or is it completely in random moments?
