I downloaded the 64bit version using Linux, it was reported as 4.1GB and came down fast and perfect. I saw a lot of people were having a problem with the wrong filesize reported and the download stopping.
I have downloaded various .ISO files larger than 4GB in the past and only once had an incorrect filesize reported and that was due to a corrupt file on the server.
I tend to use HTTP servers rather than FTP servers so something doesn't add up, unless it is a Windows issue

I use 64 bit Linux, bet that's the reason I haven't had the same issue.
