@Shawn - It's always nice to download the entire file, but keep in mind, the Vimeo streaming is true HD, and if you expand to fullscreen, it's very difficult to see any difference in quality.

I'm sorry you're having issues downloading, please check out the Vimeo stream - I have watched it side-by-side with the original file, and can't see any difference.

I just did a test download myself and it completed without any problem. I hate to sound like that guy in tech support whom puts the blame on everything but himself, although the server and my connection appears to work just fine here. :?

I did notice in your profile it says you're in Brazil, so your connection has to go through a larger number of hops. That could be part of the problem. Secondly, have you tired downloading using a different browser/FTP client program? The connection may also be timing out if you're not on a fast service (ISP). I'd try a different browser and/or clear your cache, and start the download from scratch after restarting your browser, and then don't do anything else (surfing) while it's downloading. Sometimes, clearing out the history and cache, and restarting your browser with a fresh download will help, and unless your connection is blazing fast (with few hops), don't use your computer for anything else online while it's downloading. These movie files are definitely a little taxing on anyone's connection, so be sure yours is open. Hope that helps!

Thanks Lawndart,
I did the download again so that now using a Donwloader Acelerator (Orbit) and worked perfectly :). Only when using the Download IE and it hangs on 12%.
Also tried Firefox and did the same mistake. Maybe it really is because
my connection has to go through a larger number of hops?

Thanks again!
