Default Video downloads - heeeeelppp!

I've been trying to download some Nurburgring videos (eg at www.northloop.co.uk) that range from about 40 - 90MB. If I right click 'Save target as' they just open in an instant play mode. They will play ok for about the first half or so but then stop. Prior to this, the internet activity icon in my start-up bar stops flashing. I have a 2MB broadband server (wanadoo). Is the connection timing out? Please can someone advise me how to sort problem.
Thanks,
Rod

Use a download manager (like GetRight) so it can resume the dload when it timesout. That web site server is notorious for dropping the connection.
