Rahul, I think we should add some specific downloaders that will not
work with >2GByte file downloads will be truncated at the 2GB point:
I was going to put the following in the wiki, but I can't workout how to
put a table inside an {i} info box:
Or we could upgrade the web servers that are serving these files to
apache 2.2. Its a known problems that apache < 2.2 doesn't support
files larger than 2.0G. Apache 2.2 fixes this.
I believe that's why on the redhat web servers the DVD images aren't
available but they are on the FTP servers. You'll see here that the
DVD ISOs are missing
