I download the file when DST is(n't) in effect (I download that
specific URL quite often, on different computers).

Windows Explorer, or dir in command prompt.

I just remembered that there may be a 3rd explanation: some msvcrt
functions return different timestamps depending on whether DST is in
effect or not - at least with GIMP you can observe that it'll rescan
all fonts the first time it's run after DST change (I'm not sure if
this applies only to msvcrt.dll [which MinGW uses by default], or also
to the runtimes shipped with newer Visual Studio versions).
