[ale] large file downloads & Comcast

[Tim Meanor]

Hi all,
I have a bunch of different PCs hiding behind a LinkSys wireless  
router.  Comcast is my ISP.  I've been trying to download the Ubuntu  
6.06 PPC ISO.  I have an old Titanium Mac Powerbook on which I'd like  
to try running Ubuntu.  Problem is, the download gets to 649 MB (out  
of about 698MB) and it dies.  By "dies" I mean it hangs, no more data  
comes down, etc.  This happens on Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows.  I've  
tried downloading via Firefox, IE, Safari, and Curl, but always the  
same result.  I suspect that Comcast is killing the download once it  
hits 649MB, but I'm not totally sure this is the problem.  I've had  
this problem downloading large files before (e.g. trying to download  
XCode resulted in the same problem).  Has anyone had this problem  
before?  Anyone have any insights?  Thanks for any ideas.
