Please don't yell at us. We can hear you if you type normally, in mixed
case.

It's because you're trying to save the file to a FAT32 partition and FAT32
has a 4GB file size limit.

I would think, in this case.... that when you're uploading/downloading files
to/from an FTP server, and you see a line like:
553 Cannot send file larger than 4 gigabytes scroll by, you can usually
safely assume that line (and others with a number at the beginning of the
error message) originates from your FTP server, and it is thus not your
client/OS that's telling you there is a problem, but the FTP server that has
a problem.

However - Ken is 100% correct that unless you format your drives with NTFS
(in Windows XP), you won't be able to save these files anywhere.
 
Please STOP SHOUTING by turning off your capslock and typing in mixed case.

The error message you indicate seems like the kind of message that came from
the server you're trying to upload more than four gigabytes of data to, not
from a Windows program. You'll need to talk to whoever operates the FTP
site you're uploading to about this, or upload less data.

A little looking around the net shows that FTP servers use the 553
code for a variety of conditions, all dealing with limitations imposed
by the server's operator. So, apparently the operator of the server
you're trying to get files from has imposed a 4GB limit. I'd say you
need to communicate with the server's sysop.
