I've easily downloaded a zip file from Dropbox to VDR that was 268 MB before with no problems. Granted, this was with the version just before 4.0, but I'll try again and see what happens. I also don't zip a folder--I just select a group of files in Windows Explorer and right-click them or use the applications key and go to the send to menu, then press enter on compressed zipped folder.
