Default Firefox download "-x% of file" - help

Hi,

I'm using Firefox (v1.0 pre release) on a Mandrake 10.1 PC and KDE
environment.
I've used firefox to flaelessly download multiple files, both from http
and ftp servers.
Recently I've tried to download the DVD version of SUSE 9.2 (from
ftp://ftp.tu-cottbus.de/pub/unix/lin...2-FTP-DVD.iso).

Due to the file's size (more than 2 GB), and my link's speed (ADSL 750KB),
I've left my PC unattended for several hours only to eventually find out
(in Firefox downlaod manager) that "A GB has been downloaded B percent of
file" (where A is LARGER than the file's size, e.g., 2.7 GB, and B is a
NEGATIVE number, e.g., -45%). At this stage, I've stopped the download and
repeated (on another day) the process with the same results (naturally
different A & B values).

Has anybody a clue what's going on and how can I downoad that file?

TIA
