[Thinkpad T14] Files become corrupted but only when downloaded (lemmy.world)

I've acquired a second hand Thinkpad T14 recently (gen 1, Intel version). Running Fedora Gnome.

The SSD seems fine.
I tested it with Gnome Disks; I filled the drive with files and checked their integrity; also copied files around, on drive and from USB. No issues.

But many downloaded files become corrupted. The download finishes normally, but if If I try to open said files they fail (in the middle of a video for example) and if I copy them I get an "input/output" error.
LAN or WAN, over ethernet or Wifi, it doesn't matter.

Could it still be the SSD? Or maybe a driver issue?

Thank you for reading!

    I checked the drive's health with badblocks tonight, which wiped everything unfortunately.
    Then I tried another distro (Ubuntu) and the issue was gone.

    I didn't check the hash for failing files, but I downloaded with rsync also and the issue still happened.

    Thank you very much for your help though. When I find the time I'll reinstall Fedora, and if the issue repeats itself I'll do more tests.
