I have used the download tool a few times and it worked each time.The nice thing about the download tool is the ability to stop and resume, and I also believe that it does a quality check on the file to make sure the installer will run without errors.
Are you trying to download this at school or at home? The problem that I had while downloading is that my ISP would start to throttle my connection speed after I downloaded the first Gig. I then had to quit and give it a few hours before continuing my download. So the download may not be stopping at 40%, your ISP may just be throttling you at theat point.
