Hint for Downloading Large Files
These files can be very large and take a long time to download even if you have a fast connection because the server load can be very high. For this reason we strongly suggest using a file download manager like the DownThemAll Firefox add-on.
The DownThemAll add-on has the ability to queue many files for transfer at a later time when bandwidth is more likely to be available and it can optionally request different parts of each file simultaneously to shorten the total transfer time.
