Hi Kelly, Much more likely the problem is with the remote host or your web proxy, but fortunately there are some ways of downloading without Safari. Firstly, obtain the URL of the file.
(Most websites are incredibly annoying and try to automatically start the download for you when you aren't necessarily expecting it, which is no good if you want to choose the download location or use a different downloader. Neverthelesss, they *should* provide you with the link. If they don't, you'll have to View Source of the web page and extract the link yourself.) Once you have the link, you can run the following commands in Terminal: cd Desktop curl -O http://your.url If this cuts out at 1 Mb, try resuming it like this: curl -C - -O http://your.url Maybe it will download 1 Mb at a time.
