stop punishing yourself and get the damn download manager. Browsers were not meant to handle ~1.8GiB downloads in one go.
get one from here http://www.freedownloadmanager.org/
cool thing about download managers is that they can download from multiple sources (2 slow mirrors ? no problem, split download to parts and download from both in the same time) or from same source which can speed up download in some cases.
you can also always pause download (to close you computer for the night for example) and then resume it (99% of servers allow resume).
ohh... and most of them can limit their download speed so it does not interfere with rest of you "internet experience"

most common browsers cant do any of this.

I just managed to download it, but data11.cab(?) was corrupt so I need to start the entire thing again
does it say that while unpacking ? or when it starts to install actual game ?
