I am far from being a hardcore makepkg user, but I still find it
strange that I never saw this happening.
I would expect the download program to not create empty .part files
when the source is wrong.
Did you change the dlagent somehow ?
Did you try to run the download programs directly, without using makepkg ?

Though I have to admit I did not check this behavior yet, I will check
later today.
