Use Free Download Manager. The benefit of download managers is that they can resume downloads after a broken connection so you do not have to start from the beginning again. I have also had problems downloading big files in the past but these download fine with free download manager. It will integrate into both IE 6 and IE 7 but I do not believe that it supports FireFox.
The only other thing is to check through the options in free download manager. I prefer to set it so links are available to download through a context menu rather than letting it manage all my downloads large or small. This can all be customised within the program however so you can set it up so it suits you. I think it is on the Jaws User Programs page.

I'm not saying IE's the problem here; I'm just suggesting another possibility, trying to download it using a third party browser. I must admit I like Firefox 3's new download manager, in that downloads can now be resumed from where it's left off. Hope that helps.
