View, download, and export

Every time I try to download a file I get a failed status in Chrome or Safari. When I download in Firefox it fails, however Firefox allows me to "restart" the download and it begins again where it left off... so I can complete the download by repeating this as many times as necessary per file. Very annoying.
For a larger file (say 4 GB) I had to do this "restart" in Firefox 4-5 times before the file reached the end of the download and completed successfully.
I see this is an on-going issue for Dropbox for several years - is there an indication as to waht is causing this? Going to have to ditch the service altogether if there is no real fix.

I am still receiving the network failure. It does appear that more files are working more often, but I am still getting the same failure on about 50% of my transfers today.

Dropbox downloads are still very poor on my system. Its seem Dropbox is a bit of a one trick pony; great for synch, poor for downloads or uploads or file management.
