I'm using firefox 1.08 on a redhat 3 system.  The download window shows a file 
size of 2097.2 MB.  There is almost 5 Gb of free disk space (yes, I'm sure) 
so that is not the issue.

Here's the mirror that I'm now trying with:

http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/debian-cd/5.0.2/amd64/iso-dvd/

I got the same results from:

http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/5.0.2/amd64/iso-dvd

I also tried ftp://mirrors.kernel.org/debian-cd/5.0.2/amd64

with the same results.
