Why is it always the same positions that differ?

The files differ after anywhere from 1sec to 5sec for me, and it's always the same character positions, and it always seems to be the same lines, and the same number of lines.

Most likely it’s the same position in packets; and there’s some bad RAM in a device along the route.
