Just for information, in case other Guardian readers have the same problem:
Today (24/10/2020, 9am) the download was particularly thin, most articles were missing with just URLs rather than the text I was wanting to read. It came in at 3.1 Mb.
I decided to retry at 8pm, and the download was 7.2 Mb, with no articles missing!
Maybe the server had stabilised, perhaps less traffic and news updates? Who knows, but worth a try if you have similar problems.
