No, I mean that TCP checks for corruption in transit and has the packets resent in that case. I guess you could be running a buggy implementation, but that seems unlikely with how ubiquitous TCP is.

I would suggest that you read this: https://web.mit.edu/Saltzer/www/publications/endtoend/endtoe...
Errors can show up any time, and usually show up between the parts that checksums correct. On the wire, TCP protects you with a (weak) checksum. Off the wire, your computer and filesystem can still screw things up. Even CPU bugs can do this.
