You could try using the "meat" of that link without the prefix:<br>
<div class="im"><br>
<a href="http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso" target="_blank">http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso</a><br>
<br>
</div>which will actually initiate an FTP download from a mirror site.<br>
Windows' FTP has been known to be problematic for very large files<br>
because (at least in the past) an interrupted download could not be<br>
resumed.<br>
<br>
I would recommend using IE8 for what it's good at, then another utility<br>
for the main haul. Fetch cwRsync from:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/sereds/files/cwRsync/4.0.5/cwRsync_4.0.5_Installer.zip/download" target="_blank">http://sourceforge.net/projects/sereds/files/cwRsync/4.0.5/cwRsync_4.0.5_Installer.zip/download</a><br>
<br>
This is a Windows version of the rsync utility, a workhorse of the file<br>
transfer variety if there ever was one. Assuming this latest cwRsync<br>
uses the same command line options as rsync, this *LONG* command line at<br>
an MS-DOS prompt will download the F14 DVD ISO file to the current<br>
directory:<br>
<br>
C:> cwRsync -tvxzP rsync://<a href="http://download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-linux-releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso" target="_blank">download.fedora.redhat.com/fedora-linux-releases/14/Fedora/x86_64/iso/Fedora-14-x86_64-DVD.iso</a> .<br>
<br>
Don't forget the trailing " ." space-dot destination. If you're curious,<br>
the options in that command line are defined as follows:<br>
<br>
-t preserve modification times<br>
-v increase verbosity<br>
-x don’t cross filesystem boundaries<br>
-z compress file data during the transfer<br>
-P same as --partial --progress<br>
--partial keep partially transferred files<br>
--progress show progress during transfer<br>
<br>
On a 12Mbps connection this download should take about 75 minutes. If<br>
the download is interrupted for any reason, you can re-run the same<br>
command line and it will pick up where it left off. rsync is VERY<br>
tenacious and guarantees 100% error-free delivery.<br>
<br>
Good luck.<br>
