Just a thought...
Some older versions of Windows used disk formats like FAT, FAT32, etc.. Some of those disk systems had limitations on the number of files in a directory and on the maximum size of a single file.
It is also possible that the host site has some size or timing quota set, I.E. If you take too long to download it cuts you off.
I don't know if any ISPs implement size quotas.
I saw a situation where the packet/MTU size was a little different from what a Firewall was expecting. The firewall would allow about 2 GB of an FTP through, then the packet fragmentation would get so large that the FTP would stop. Once the packet/MTU size was matched up, the problem went away.
I hope one of these ideas helps.
