in reply to Downloading large file fails using Mechanize get function

Dillman,
It could be a number of things but the first thing I would do is increase the timeout. Remember that WWW::Mechanize is a subclass of LWP::Useragent. I believe the default is 180. 
$agent->timeout(300);

There is also a max_size but the default is undefined and I don't believe WWW::Mechanize doesn't change it.

Cheers - L~R
