You will need to repair the filesystem with fsck from a livecd, probably. You may not get the lost data but any remaining bad files should be deletable after.
Whether they happen during download or not, these I/O errors are still extremely abnormal, very bad, and run the disk of corrupting your data in worse ways than creating undeletable files; so it really deserves more attention than just fixing bad files after the fact. If the disk itself is fine(though it is the bit I suspect the most, being it's recently replaced; or perhaps the procol, is the new drive a faster revision of SATA than the old?) there may be a device driver or IRQ routing problem. Try booting with the kernel parameter "pci=routeirq" and see if it stops generating bad files.

mkfs.minix
MKFS.MINIX(8) System Administration MKFS.MINIX(8)
NAME
mkfs.minix - make a Minix filesystem
SYNOPSIS
mkfs.minix [options] device [size-in-blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs.minix creates a Linux MINIX filesystem on a device (usually a disk partition).
The device is usually of the following form:
/dev/hda[1-8] (IDE disk 1)
/dev/hdb[1-8] (IDE disk 2)
/dev/sda[1-8] (SCSI disk 1)
/dev/sdb[1-8] (SCSI disk 2)
The device may be a block device or a image file of one, but this is not enforced. Expect not much fun on a character device :-).
The size-in-blocks parameter is the desired size of the file system, in blocks. It is present only for backwards compatibility. If omit-
ted the size will be determined automatically. Only block counts strictly greater than 10 and strictly less than 65536 are allowed.
OPTIONS
-c, --check
Check the device for bad blocks before creating the filesystem. If any are found, the count is printed.
-n, --namelength length
Specify the maximum length of filenames. Currently, the only allowable values are 14 and 30 for file system versions 1 and 2. Ver-
sion 3 allows only value 60. The default is 30.
-i, --inodes number
Specify the number of inodes for the filesystem.
-l, --badblocks filename
Read the list of bad blocks from filename. The file has one bad-block number per line. The count of bad blocks read is printed.
-1 Make a Minix version 1 filesystem. This is the default.
-2, -v Make a Minix version 2 filesystem.
-3 Make a Minix version 3 filesystem.
-V, --version
Display version information and exit. The long option cannot be combined with other options.
-h, --help
Display help text and exit.
EXIT CODES
The exit code returned by mkfs.minix is one of the following:
0 No errors
8 Operational error
16 Usage or syntax error
SEE ALSO
fsck(8), mkfs(8), reboot(8)
AVAILABILITY
The mkfs.minix command is part of the util-linux package and is available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
