Have you tried using BitTorrent? I have had much better luck with it than 
FTP or HTTP.  (Since it does not need restarts if the connection drops.)

http://torrent.fedoraproject.org/ for a list of torrents and instructions.

Use

wget -c ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/FC4-i386-disc*

instead so that wget will resume downloading a file if your connection
should fail.

Do a Google search for "wget.exe" if you are using Windows.  You will
need to run wget from a command prompt, i.e., Start->Run->cmd .

If you are using linux: The command:
wget -b 
ftp://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/4/i386/iso/FC4-i386-disc*
will work. It'll download in the back ground, bloody good program wget. If 
it's any help, send me a private e-mail, and you can get them off my box, 
although it's not certain I'll be able to run an FTP out of college.

HTH,

Certainly, Windows imposes a 2 Gb limit if you're using fat32.

If wget has the problem, someone should verify  it and bugzilla it.

I generally use rsync, and I know that has no problem with big files.

Apache can't serve it:
[Sun Jan 01 00:43:45 2006] [error] [client 192.168.7.138] (75)Value too 
large for defined data type: access to /RHEL/3.90/iso/el-source.iso failed

The particular file is 3.3 Gbytes.

I don't have an ftp server installed.

This problem was fixed a long time ago.
