Hi all. Speaking of the DVD image for FC6, how would one go about downloading it in a Windows environment? From what I've seen, the image is only available via HTTP on speakupmodified.org, and Internet Explorer has a problem with downloading files greater than 2GB in size. Is there a way to do this without installing another browser such as Firefox?
