Unable to download Apprentice

I entered my email and downloaded from the Apprentice download page and the download froze at 17.5MB for a few seconds before saying it finished downloading. I then tried from the Daily Builds section and it finished the download at 17 megs too. I figured it might be my firewall so I disabled that and it still finished at 17 megs. I disabled my Antivirus and that didn't help. I tried downloading it in Chrome and Internet Explorer instead of Firefox 3 and didn't change anything. It isn't my connection either, since I tried the T1 line at school and it would download great until reaching 17.5MB out of 200 and then freeze for a while before “Downloads have finished” pops up. Needless to say the downloaded file doesn't work.

I don't really know what else I could do or disable/enable to get this downloaded :?
Other large downloads finished just fine - I was able to get my classwork from fxphd for Houdini, C4D, and Mari (Which I am going to have to sit out since Mari is 64bit only right now. *grumble*) just fine.

Anything that might be of use from Speccy:

MS Windows XP Professional 3d-bit SP3
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9400 2.66GHz
4.0GB Samsung Dual Channel DDR2 400MHz
NVIDIA nForce 6501 SLI SPP Chipset
1024MB ATI Radeon HD 4820
300GB Western Digital WDC

Come to think of it, my laptop was having the same issue - though it stopped at 15MB instead - and it was several years older than the desktop I am using right now.
