Default computer question

I am trying to download a 1.5GB movie file of track footage.

The person who uploaded it did not chop it up.

I can only download about 177MB of it before it quits.

Is there a way to download the whole thing?

Or is there a way to download it in chunks?

I am on a Mac OS 10.4 and DSL hook-up.

Thanks.

Video 43 is the one I would like, but eventually I would try to go after all of them.

Thanks in advance if there is anything you can do:

Have you had any issues downloading other large files? It might be something that your ISP is doing.

EDIT - I was getting good speeds on vid #42. Downloaded a little over 200MB before I stopped the download.

Well, my buddy had the same problem with it, so I don't think it is my connection, but is is possible.

I have not had problems downloading any files before, but I don't think I have ever downloaded 1.5GB!

Any luck with one of the other files in the group? If you can get another file without issue, then the problem is likely with the specific file (vid 43).

No, they all cut out around 150MB.

Your ISP shouldn't be interfering, but you never know... I DL large files all the time (from 350MB to 4G), but my ISP has a monthly bandwidth cap, so I have to keep an eye on my traffic.

Well there is a problem with the vids, seems to be some corruption. I dl'ed 2 of them and the actual file size is much closer to 300 MB, yet the file hosting page sees them as 1+gb... probably a file container issue, probably related to how the files were uploaded or converted from their original format.

Sorry...

Oh, well if they are only actually 300MB maybe I can try again later and see if it hangs on the whole way.

Thanks for trying.

I tried it again and it popped off at the exact same MB, so I bet I have the whole file and the 1.5GB number is simply wrong like you said James.

I think the original files are 1.5G or so, but there seems to be a problem with the way the files were uploaded. I can play one, but it is choppy (missing data) and hangs up the player about 1/2 way through. Probably a file compression issue when the files were uploaded to the hosting site.
