this issue comes up with every release -- isn't there a FAQ on this 
somewhere?  as i understand it, some clients have a 32-bit size limit 
that they'll recognize, so what they're seeing (with that 380.7M 
reported size) is the size modulo 4G, right?

so, useful for the FAQ would be why this is happening, and which 
download clients work properly with it and which don't.  does this 
exist somewhere?  short of searching the archives?

p.s.  new admonition.  "STFA".
