At this point I would concur with this answer. (I made the original post 
in the thread).  The http client is bad. ( I was using Windows IE 
because that's where I have a DVD burner).  However, when I do a 
"vanilla" ftp transfer, it looks like the size is going to be correct. 
(Cross my fingers). It has already downloaded 150+ meg. So, I still have 
a ways to go, but before the http download with IE stopped at 80 meg.

Thanks...Terry
