I can't download 4 gig files :(
Firefox was downloading the file fine until it got to um...probably 2<sup>32</sup> bytes or something, and then it completely borked. Then I tried flashget, and freshdevices' download manager, and now I'm trying getright.
But just in case getright fails, what's a download manager that supports larger file sizes?
(just in case you wanna know, I'm downloading a huge media file from www.archive.org)

It's destiny. Just accept it.

Do you have a FAT32 filesystem? FAT32 has an upper limit on the size a file can be. So do some other filesystems. Though I don't think NTFS is limited.
Maybe try wget. Or write your own program to do it.

Yeah, what Unne said. Try downloading to another HD if you have one. Probably the one with WINXP on it.

Doesn't Firefox temporarily save files you're downloading to the Temp directory? I'm not sure about those other programs. I have my Windows tmp directories on another partition with plenty of space.

I fixed the problem by downloading it via a ftp program, but the 2<sup>32</sup> problem still exists for firefox....is firefox just not compatible with such files? All my drives are NTFS
