    Thanks - I'll try curl when I get a chance and see what happens.
    I could also always just download the CD's since they seem to be seen
    as the proper size.

    2^32 B = 4294967296 B = 4 GB

    Your downloading tools probably can't handle files larger
    than 4GB.

    Try curl. Here on my 9.2 system I have curl-7.12.0-2.2 rpm
    installed. I believe it can handle files larger than
    4GB. (Probably up to 16 exabytes, if it uses 64 bit unsigned
    values for file sizes. That should be enough for the next
    few SuSE releases, at least...)

    man curl:

    "curl is a tool to transfer data from or to a server, using
    one of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, FTPS,
    GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The command is designed
    to work without user interaction.

    "curl offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support,
    user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, SSL (https:)
    connections, cookies, file transfer resume and more. As you
    will see below, the amount of features will make your head
    spin!

    "curl is powered by libcurl for all transfer-related
    features. See libcurl(3) for details."

    HTH,
