Yes, probably this is an off topic, but yesterday I tried to download 
DVD of FC2 Test3 from about 10 of  official
mirror site and the download always stopped at 2.147.483.648 (2^31) 
downloaded bytes (my client is FC2T2 and I'm
using ncftp as ftp client).... from sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch, for 
example, I tried either with Linux and Windows client and I got only the 
first 2^31 bytes.

After many failed donwloads the mirror 
ftp://ftp.chl.chalmers.se/pub/fedora/linux/core/  works and I got all 
needed bytes.

Some ftp servers have a file size limit?
