I think it is more a case that some software is still compiled without big file support, so the files over 2GB either crap-out or they get truncated.
Firefox, for example, has problems with large ISO's, downloading the Debian DVD image with firefox made a 2GB file out of the original ~4GB ISO on the server.
I would never dare to dowload such a big file using firefox or mozilla... I wouldn't download even a 10 Mb file with it, it has barfed on me at mid-download so many times on me... :-( - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEBK4rtTMYHG2NR9URAijTAJ4yG4UbVtdedXpc/RmDMWabgDnGbACfc1PB vQTup49Rj5jFYx09FH+uOjM= =tIi0 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
