Sure. I've encountered this before and there are a couple ways of dealing w/ it. You d/l'd the ISO via FTP, almost certainly using Windows. I don't know of a FTP client (under Windows) that will successfully d/l a 4GB file, regardless of whether it's being saved on a NTFS partition or not. Therefore, to d/l the Knoppix DVD, you can:
1) D/l using torrents. If you don't know torrents are, you mite consider GOOGLEing a torrent tutorial. Torrents are a novel P2P file xfer technology.
2) D/l the Knoppix CD ISO, burn that, and boot Knoppix, which has several programs for d/l'g, including wget. This is probably the easiest solution.
3) Find a FTP util (for Windows) that will xfer very large files.
Before burning
any ISOs in the future, seek out its MD5 sig (if avail), and run an
MD5 digest util against it, to make sure the file was xferred intact. Every once in a while, a file will be corrupted in transit, but will have the correct file size. Altho as Richeemxx suggests, the file size should have been a dead giveaway....Jet
