Most of the time something chokes with a file much bigger than 2 GB. If there is an error, start over.

With a lot of smaller files if there is an error, just resend that one file.

It still boggles my mind. We subscribe to the loacal newspaper on-line. I download the regular paper and it is 25 MB as an average. My first hard drive was just 10 MB. Transferring gigabytes of data is just routine now. And everyone complains about how slow it is. I remember being elated to download one MB in "just" 12 minutes. Now I get 900 MB per minute download speed in theory. I have yet to come across a web site feeding out data that fast.
