[pca] Patch keeps re-downloading and appending to existing file

[Rodney Rutherford]

Today all of the patches are downloading just fine.  Interesting enough, 
the actual file
size downloaded really is 68182353 bytes, so I have no idea why it was 
only getting
68182347 bytes on Friday.

        -rw-r--r--   1 root     root     68182353 Jul 22 14:53 
120011-14.zip
