No, I've got a supposedly 8M road runner connection - Not that I get that on download.
Anyway, that's not really the problem - it never gets that far. It claims that it's downloading a file that is 3.5G but then downloads what appears to be a valid, empty tar that is only 700 bytes. My tar program opens it, doesn't complain about the format, and says its empty.
This is most likely a problem with your download tool failing to handle large file sizes.
I'm having a hard time imagining what else it could be, other than the download tool. The first thing that occurred to me was "Doesn't SMB choke on anything bigger than 2GB?", but that shouldn't apply here.
