Got a reply about this from their "support dept". The official word is that files over 1gb can not be downloaded? Surely this has worked before?
"You mention this is a file over 1GB. I apologize that the sentence in the previous email may not have been very clear in the limitations of web requests.
It isn't currently possible to download folders that contain more than 10,000 files or files that are larger than 1 GB via the web interface.
The best way to do so is by adding the files to your Dropbox and allowing them to download to your computer using the Dropbox desktop application."
Sidney: if you're reading this: i don't believe you.
