Would have thought that a 500+ meg download wouldn't be such a major issue with the speed of corporate connections in this day and age?
As for a download manager - there are plenty of 3rd party applications that can do such a task, in which case google is your friend.

I just needed to download all ITSM 7.0.3 releases for one of my clients. Asset 7.0.3 for Windows is now 554MB! It must be some good stuff in there - but what a killer! AM 7.0.2 was around 350MB - what have they done? Added a new language, included the Data Management Module, included patch 6 and a few more bugs (sorry - it was a new year joke). The file size is starting to become a problem. It takes forever to download at best. Normally the download is terminated a few times when downloading from the client. BMC needs to come up with a solution here: Some alternatives: - A download tool that restarts where it took off when terminated. - Separate their download files into smaller packages.
