Try downloading it with a different browser; it sounds like you've got a download manager installed, and unfortunately the software doesn't support that.

IE standard downloader drops out constantly on larger downloads, as is expected perhaps. Some other browsers have better luck, and the program Orbit I can voucher does work fairly well. You may see some size variations from time to time, although it is typically only small difference to the stated size.

Download managers aren't a good idea, as chances are they'll be cut off from the server much like Borimur was. If you do use anything of the sort, I suggest you limit the connections quite a bit, as this is what causes the server to think you're a spammer.IE standard downloader drops out constantly on larger downloads, as is expected perhaps.

I'm still unable to download this mod.I uninstalled my download manager as K'aeloree suggested but it didn't help.At about 10 min. into the DL it stops and i get the message from Internet Explorer saying the connection with the server was reset, same as before.Is there anyway to get around this?Any help would be greatly appreciated.I really wanted to check out this mod.

Try using a different browser. I've used both Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome, and the download took a long time, but it worked.
And the mirror, it reflects a tiny dancing skeleton, surrounded by a fleshy overcoat and swaddled in

I use Mozilla SeaMonkey (which is similar to Firefox) with the FlashGot plugin and Free Download Manager (which also works with IE); although the download manager always receives the wrong file name "index.php" (the right one appears as a comment), the link is fine and it always works; I only have to rename the file.
Maybe it could be a problem with your connection?

Exact same setup (except I use FirefoxMozilla SeaMonkey (which is similar to Firefox) with the FlashGot plugin and Free Download Manager
