I am not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I know that IE has issues with long downloads. I downloaded America's Army a few weeks ago and it detected that I had IE. They said that IE will time out and that I should use something else like Firefox, so I did and I had no problems. I am not sure what the threshold is for timeouts on IE though.
