   I always hesitate to disagree with you, Paul, but IME today the above is   
   NOT true.  I set the download service on my QNAP NAS to download ...   
      
   	https://archive.org/download/digital_river/x17-58996.iso   
      
   ... and it downloaded successfully.  In particular, I watched it roll   
   over the 2GB downloaded mark with no perceptible glitch, the resulting   
   file size is the advertised 2.39 GB, the ISO opens successfully in   
   7-zip, and its SHA1 agrees with that given for it on the parent   
   directory/page.   
      
   I think you must have a different problem somewhere?
