OT: downloading of a file

Remember i am on dial-up so a long file (>2megs) takes a long time and the longer the time, the more likely it can be trashed or lost.
My particular problem is that i cannot download the following:
http://www.mdgx.com/files/NV8269.EXE which is about 14Megs in size.
It always terminates somewhere in the middle (using NetScrape's "download manager").
I tried GetIt Right, and it instantly dies with a 403.
But recently, i had to install AVG and update it, which took *two hours* and everything went OK, raising the question do they do on-the-fly error checking and backtrack on error? If so, then that amazing 2-hr stint can be ignored.

How can i get that NVIDIA file?
