interesting problem

As mentioned earlier, I decided to suck Knoppix 5.0 to a DVD.  I found 
on a Knoppix mirror (ftp.kernel.org/pub/dist/knoppix/knoppix-dvd) the 
distro (4243030 KB in size).

A couple of hours ago, I started a suck via the HTTP button.  But 
noticed that it showed the target size would be 2 GB :-(  I let it 
continue, BUT, when I had rcvd 2 GB, it terminated :-(

So I went back to the size and used the ftp but and  that is were I got 
the above info from.  Again I started the download, only to find it was 
also going to be 2 GB :-(

Now I am using FC4 as an environment.  Strange.  It is as though the 
file transfer system doesn't support above 2 GB.

Any comment?
