Comment:

 The EagleStreams.zip file does not contain 1_10K_EagleBasemap_Streams.shx.
 The OGR Shapefile driver (and shapelib) require the .shx file to exist
 though in theory this requirement could be relaxed.

 I don't think this is really a qgis problem, and if desired it should be
 refiled as an enhancement request to OGR or possibly to Shapelib itself.
