I'm feeling a little bored thanks to too much studying...
So, I have to take a break and think of something else.
What's the largest d/l you've ever made?
 
Um, I think my biggest was an update for Quake 2. It was nearly 30 MB I think, and I have a 33.6K connection. I've downloaded other large stuff too like FF fan movies and stuff.
 
The Badurs Gate 2 Demo. It was 650 megs split into a load of 100 meg sections. But the biggest ever single download was 263 megs. It is an Asf file of the show "Microsfot extreme". It showed a lot of Windows XP and Office XP(Windows XP achally looks brilliant!) and then at the end some of the X-Box in action  :)
 
I think it doesn't really matter how big the file(s) was/were, I think more important is which connection you have. I've got one of this laming 56K connections, so I can't allow me to download 650 MB files (oh  my god, hours of downloading)As for the question: I think my biggest download was about 50 megs...it was an app, but I can't remember which...

The Pamela Andersen and Tommy Lee video!  It was worth it, though!   :oJust kidding!

EDIT:
Seriously, though, I have a cable modem, so I hardly look at size anymore.  With my old 56k, I think it would have to be the King's Quest:  Mask of Eternity demo, about 100-200 megabytes.  My cousins were coming over that day, and I remember my mom was getting really PO'ed.

Biggest thing I've downloaded, Killer Instinct 2 Arcade Hard drive, it was big(over 100MB), but that was over DSL, so it didn't take too long.Biggest download back when I was on 56k(over AOL of all things), was the Quake3 demo(50meg). Hours.
 
biggest file probably about 50Mb.. it was a bunch of utilities a friend upped for me.. (dialup) 56k.. other than that .. um i am still on 56k.. cable soon.. Jesus man 11Mb/s!? thats unreal... oh and that game kikz ass  :).. (UT is better)
 
Working for an ISP, I can D/L 640MB in about 45 seconds. The largest thing I've D/Led modem-wise was a naughty live action video done by Yuko Miyamura (The voice of Asuka in Evangelion) before she was a voice actor. I think that weighs in at about 200 Meg.
 
in my old 33k modem days it was BeOS5 at 33mb and zelda64 at about 40mb, also Euro2000 demo at 44mb.
with my 112kps its stuff like 70-80mb, like transformers episodes (DivX70mb), soundfonts (fluid 80mb), Roms (GmotW neo geo ,50mb,)
but thats about it, if i ever see something BIG and with clean access, then yea if its good ill go for it.
 
Last week I downloaded all four ISO's of Redhat Linux 7.1.  Totals about 2GB. 2Mb/s Cable is great =)I remember when I downloaded Mandrake 7.0 ISO over 28.8 tho. Took a Really long time.
 
I downloaded Pearl Harbour a few weeks ago which was good 600 meg... but I used Get Right to resume my downloads.... does that count?
 
Well if it doesnt I'm otry Download Accelerator. It actually works! I thought it would just be another download program but it makes my d/l go at 3.1 kb/s most of the time, and sometime up to 5 kb/s on my 33.6K. It's definately worth it.
 
Eh, back when I was on dialup, I was pretty crazy and downloaded a linux iso or two every once in a while. Got 7 in total. I like, never really used them though  :)
 
Whooa....... You guys must have no life! Heheh.. My biggest was Megaman X4 on a 56k modem. It was chunked into 19 files.
