Hey Richard
it would be even better if you suggest sharing folders. If Editor and you have Dropbox Client installed and running, Editor can drop files in a folder on his machine and it automatically will appear on your Machine. Easy Peasy.

Even better Chris .... thanks again ... I've just had a chat with the editor and we're setting up "Shared Folders".
I guess I should mark this "solved"! (though do realise that for folk simply using browsers to download from DP email links, there is no solution if broadband access is intermittent)
Have a good day Chris and thanks again. Bestest Richard

Good Luck to you Richard
I want to emphasize that when you set up a shared folder, only one of you shares a folder and that one needs to make sure they use the correct email address used for the Dropbox Account. I have seen so many users wonder why the share doesn't go thru. Also whoever receives the shared folder needs to 'accept' the invitation to share. usually, there is an email sent out for an invitation to be accepted. It also should show up on Dropbox.com
Thanks for being nice and Professional
I am also having a similar issue. I've tried downloading an mp4 file ~25gbs several times and over both Safari and Fire Fox and get the same failure everytime. Then when trying to "resume download" it doesn't work. Any ideas or solutions? This is a personal performance video and is important for promotion, etc.

Hello Matt
Have you read my previous posts? Are you able to download and install the Dropbox client|? if so, that is the best and sure way to get large files to download.
are you clicking on a link?
and how big is the file?
