      There is no choice except for FTP?

      Not as far as I can tell. I've requested the provider send the file to me via google drive (or literally any other means) as this is something I need / want to have completed before mid next week if at all possible.

      If they don't respond, I'm looking for alternatives.

      How about an HTTP download manager? Some of those may be able to do that.

      Any recommendations?

      Uget works fine

        I think I've figured out a way to get the download completed, just keep refreshing the providers website which contains the downloads.

          That sounds... painful.

              This is not FTP.

              It is HTTP.

                @jaredbusch supposedly there is some ftp option, but I've not found any way to log in.

                As it is I'm just connected to a website that constantly drops the connection to the download.

                  it is probably public. Just open filezilla and enter the ftp.domain.com address with no login and see what happens

                        Ha, that's what I was thinking when I started this..

                        I've got an app running that just presses F5 every 5 seconds... So by the new year I should have the file....

                              ugh. . .

                              and it still drops the download!

                              I might try this from home where my connection isn't shared with coworkers. . .

                                    Open your browser download history and copy the download link.

                                      If you are downloading it from Firefox, firefox should be able to allow Copy Download Link.

                                        It isn't a link to the file. It's some weird link.

                                        Here are some generic details from the link.

                                        Command=DownloadFileShare&FileToken=1&ShareToken=101E

                                        It doesn't end in the file it's self (PS I know how to get the direct download link if it were so simple).

                                          It would also be possible to break down the files with WinSCP and transfer them with FileZilla.

                                          Get WinSCP: http://winscp.net/eng/index.php - "WinSCP is an open source free SFTP client, FTP client, WebDAV client and SCP client for Windows."

                                          Add a Custom Command:
                                          Code: rar a -r -m0 -v20m "!.rar" "!"
                                          'Remote Command', 'Apply to Directories'... Add the Custom Commands toolbar.
                                          This command will use Rar (install it on your server) to spit the file(s)/directory into 20mb numbered rar files using no compression, therefore very quickly. If you multi-select files, they'll each have their own multi-part rar file, nice.

                                          We will still use Filezilla for transferring the files, using Simultaneous Transfers 😉 as it's by far the nicest/best working FTP client out there (even despite this missing, much needed functionality).

                                          So now the every-day steps are:

                                          1. Start WinSCP
                                          2. Log in to the server
                                          3. Browse to the file(s)
                                          4. Select them
                                          5. Click on the custom command's toolbar button ... it then gets to work processing (seconds or a minute perhaps)...
                                          6. Start Filesilla
                                          7. Log in to the server
                                            8 ) Browse to the file(s) and the multi-part rars
                                          8. Select the rars
                                          9. Download them to the local machine ... watching the simultaneous transfers chomping thru the data!
                                          10. Unrar the local rar files when completed
                                          11. Delete the rar files from the remote server using WinSCP as it does it quicker.

                                          Finished.
