I see this when using hackage.fpcomplete.com, rather than hackage.haskell.org.

(The latter is very slow for me, and sometimes fails -
  $ cabal update
  Downloading the latest package list from hackage.haskell.org
  dieVerbatim: user error (cabal: '/bin/curl' exited with an error:
  curl: (18) transfer closed with 29508193 bytes remaining to read
  )$ 
)
