There are many filesystems out there, that have a 2 GB limit for a
file.
If you are planning on using the DVD version, make sure the file system
you are loading to, doesn't have this limit.

Been there, done that. tar files and 2 GB limit.

Also, download via LYNX fails at the 2 gig marker also.

I was just there:
You may have difficulty downloading large files including DVD ISOs,
depending upon your browser or download manager. For best results, you
should use Mozilla Firefox 1.5 or later. If you use a download
manager,
your browser version will not be a factor. Make sure you're using the
latest version of your download manager and that it supports large
files. For example, if you use wget, it must be version 1.10 or later.
Note: The following browsers are some of those that are unable to
download files that are larger than 2GB-
* Firefox versions earlier than 1.5 (downloads 2GB then quits)
* Internet Explorer 6 or earlier (fails to start download)
* Internet Explorer 7 Beta (fails to start download)
* wget version earlier than 1.10 (downloads 2GB then quits)
Love it! Finally someone is saying don't use IE instead of must use
IE.
Cool.

IF anyone has that list of browser warnings, could you posit it to the
list? I could not make it re-appear.
Granted IE is not the worlds greatest browser, but it IS what a lot of
folken are stuck with in the enterprise environment.

Did ya catch the warnings about the browser versions? You might be

I reckon. They didn't mention Safari, so I'm going to give that one a
try
tonight for the heck of it.
