Only once the entire file is downloaded, and its content is verified correct is it moved into a place where you can access it. So, it seems much more likely to me that the content of the file, as originally added to git-annex, was bad, and the it had just finished verifying the content and moving it into place when you interruped the command. Please check with `git annex fsck` on the file and see if it determines it has the content git-annex expects it to have. However, I notice you're using a v6 repository. Is the file an unlocked file? It's possible that in that specific case there could be a bug. I've interrupted `git annex get` on a nearly daily basis for years, but v6 is still experimental and not as well tested. """]]
