No, you're probably being bitten by http issues and/or proxies in the way.
I heard from fhcrc.edu that they had a squid limitation of 2.0gb files, but
then worked around it.

If you can, try rsync which, as I recall, can even resume to complete your
80% downloaded file. If that fails, try a bittorrent client.

Which mirror were you using -- fhcrc.org or warnes.net ? I see that the
Spanish mirror has the file at 2448 mb so it must be possible :)

This is the first release using a file larger than 2.0gb. If it proves too
difficult we may going back to a smaller file.
