This takes me back to when I first started using Firefox... large downloads were invariably corrupted, and it was unusable until the devs fixed the FF download manager.
I use Chromium (on Xubuntu) for downloads quite a bit and have not experienced problems with corrupted download files. However, I would welcome improvements to the download manager (such as the ability to resume partial downloads), and I have experienced problems with Chromium crashing when I try to specify the location to save download files. I thought that it might be a problem with GNOME, but switching to Xfce didn't help very much.
