Many HTTP clients are buggy and do not support >2GiB files.
Red Hat avoids having to deal with that support issue by
only allowing >2GiB downloads via FTP. At least in those
cases, the FTP protocol (which is a file transfer protocol
and not a stream protocol like HTTP) would at least give you
an error of some sort.

Is the size of the .iso only ~2147MB? If so, you do not
have a HTTP client that is capable of >2GiB downloads.
