User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.12) Gecko/20050920 Firefox/1.0.7

When I tried do download the DVD-ISO Image for SuSE-Linux 9.3 or SuSE-Linux 10.0 the Download-Manager truncated the file to 2048 MB (2GB). I tried different Download-Sites und finaly uses Konqueror to download it. It seems that firefox is not able to download files larger than 2GB.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to URL : http://www.novell.com/products/linuxprofessional93/downloads/ftp/eval.html#europe
2.Select a DVD-ISO Image an start downloading it
3.Download-Manager displays a file size of 2048 MB (and stops after downloading 2048 MB)

Actual Results:  
The file downloaded by the Download-Manager is truncated to 2048 MB. No Error-Message or anything else the download seems to by complete but the file isn't.

Expected Results:  
The file has a size of 4.3 GB. Firefox downloaded only 2GB.

Still broken in FF 1.5.
Tried to download the ~3GB DVD image of Fedora Core 5, and it was going smooth at around 385kb/second. The download manager showed all the correct details, but as soon as the file hit 2GB, it quit and Firefox said it was done.
