There's a problem with the FTP server with large files. Try to find a bittorrent (this is actually legal).

Many servers have a 2 gig file size limit, i also got 188 mb, but if you use ftp downloader like ws_ftp pro (under windows) you are fine. not sure under linux.
You can also find a server without this limit. Or use bittorrent.
