I'm a little confused.

In the release notes (which is maybe a little too late, but I digress)
it says:

        Note
        
        If you intend to download the Fedora Core 4 test 2 DVD ISO
        image, keep in mind that not all file downloading tools can
        accommodate files larger than 2GB in size. For example, wget
        will exit with a File size limit exceeded error.
        
So far I've used wget to pull down both test1 and test2 and neither
stalled out at 2GB.

For example

[rodd at fishbowl iso]$ ls -l
total 5238164
-rw-rw-r--  1 rodd rfbf 2700963840 Mar 11 11:34 FC4-test1-i386-DVD.iso
-rw-rw-r--  1 rodd rfbf 2657673216 Apr  8 04:28 FC4-test2-i386-DVD.iso

So, does this need to be addressed, or is there something wonky with my
copy of wget?  ;-]
