FAT filesystem? I think there's a problem with files larger than 2^31 bytes.


I've seen it before, I think on the Linux-390 list where the proportion 
of Windows users is higher than normal.

Google may have a workaround.

Failing all else, you could download Knoppix and boot that, format some 
storage (maybe a USB drive) as ext3, download to that then burn to DVD.

I've successfully download a DVD image with Konqueror, but more usually 
I use lftp or rsync - http servers serving DVD images are fairly scarce.
