I think you'll find this issue is also related the the Content-Type.

I downloaded Vista onto my server the night it was released (so i could get a stable version quickly, before the servers became hammered, and then downloaded from my server, which could support just me fine!)

I encountered this error when the Content-Type was application/iso, (i couldn't actually find the offical content-type for an .iso, so i guessed) - Anyway, when this was the content type, the 64 bit version was shown as 13.7mb. But, doing some research of linux file mirrors, they used text/plain as the content-type for .iso's.

Having changed this on the server, it then reported the correct filesize.
