hg --debug clone -r 100 <url> dest
cd dest
hg --debug pull -r 200
hg --debug pull -r 300
hg --debug pull -r 400
...

might be helpful in this case.

Like this, you can pull the changes in smaller batches and won't have to
wait that long to see an error.

'hg verify' between the pulls might be wise as well.
