I've downloaded DVD images with Firefox, Konqueror and (yes) Lynx. I'm not sure what would cause a browser to be unable to download beyond a certain size except for disk space unless the coders specifically put in that limitation, and I'm baffled as to why they'd do that.
A(n unsigned) 32-bit value can represent up to 4GiB - 1. If a larger value is stored in it, it stores that value modulo 4GiB. This can cause a file transfer of 4GiB + 251M to terminate after only 251M.
