It is not easy to get an exception from the copy task. I disconnected network for ~1 minutes and restore it. Original cmdlet waits some seconds and silently stop with semi-downloaded file. With the change (without catching AggregateException) user get follow error:

I think it is right behavior and we should remove the regression.

Expected behavior

Throw an exception if download fails.

Actual behavior

Does not throw an exception if download fails.
