Windows 10 random hg verify errors?

Good news (sort of). I decided to use *msconfig* advanced options to limit
my computer to *1 CPU*, and it seems to have made a world of (good)
difference. I haven't encountered the random errors again, and I'm able to
download big files and do big hg clones which were also an issue. I
couldn't even download tortoisehg-3.5.2-x64.msi without getting Network
error across different browsers.

Basically, when I tried cloning, mozilla-central, per Gregory Szorc's
suggestion, I encountered the same network errors that eventually led to me
investigating random integrity errors with hg verify issue.

One clone failed with integrity check failure:

% hg clone --verbose https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
> "C:\Users\pylee\Documents\ubsicap\repos\mozilla-central"

Most of the time I would get this DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC error:

% hg clone --verbose https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/
> "C:\Users\pylee\Documents\ubsicap\repos\mozilla-central"
> applying clone bundle from
> https://hg.cdn.mozilla.net/mozilla-central/6ea654cad929c9bedd8a4161a182b6189fbeae6a.gzip.hg

> transaction abort!
> rollback completed
> abort: error: DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC
> [command returned code 255 Wed Feb 17 13:34:02 2016]


That DECRYPTION_FAILED_OR_BAD_RECORD_MAC error led me to this article
https://github.com/kennethreitz/requests/issues/1906 where some users
tracked down to "multiprocessing".

Now, why it's a problem on my system and not others, I still don't know.
But maybe I can now make a case for replacing my computer under warranty.
