Use text based downloaders, like wget or prozilla, prozilla works nice for
me, hav downloaded 4+ GB DVD isos using prozilla.

Hi all,
I tried downloading the HUGE collabcad PLM setup file from collabcad
website. However both times though I was able to download the 1.62GB file
using firefox addon downthemall, downthemall failed to finally put the file
in the proper download folder given for the purpose. Only 750mb file
resulted from a FULL download of 1.62 GB.
There was enough space in the /home directory -so that possibility of less
space is ruled out. I think downthemall
1 downloads to a temporary or hidden directory and
2 then checksums the hidden directory download after the download is
complete
and
3 then moves the checksummed file to the final destination under /home
directory if everything is ok or gives an error.
It seems to be restricted in download size upto 750MB.
Am looking for a better dowload manager which can work under ubuntu 9.04
and
with such SUPER large files. If anyone knows of a better manager with
checksumming ability pls let me know.
The other option is using a torrent file (via a bittorrent client) if any
exists.
Thanks for any help
Kussh
