I guess, there's no other way or do you know another way?

Either Amazon built you a special version Kindle, or
There is something being missed here.
Download the factory initial firmware again, check its md5sum, if it is correct, re-install it.
If it is not correct, open a terminal and use wget or curl to download it.

Once upon a time, there was an add-in for firefox named "flash downloader" -
flash as in very fast, not flash as a media type -
When you picked a file for download, it would open 3 to 5 parallel threads with as many different starting offsets, downloading the file in as many parts and re-assembling it once all the parts arrived.
It got things wrong more often than not.
Mostly because it depended on the server to support "resume at ...." and also get it correct, to the byte.
I can see in the server logs that Safari is trying to do exactly the same thing.
And some countries report the same result as the firefox flash downloader - it is getting it wrong on these large files, more often than not.
