ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/blast/db/FASTA/nt.gz

From a quick ftp command:

ftp> size nt.gz
213 2876516042

This was the one I was working on that caused trouble in the first place.
Do note that this server doesn't correctly support resumes (REST) for
offsets above 2 GB, no matter what curl does (or any other ftp client, as
far as I can tell), but offsets below that are ok. But that won't matter
if you actually download the entire file in one go. :)

Thanks,

Dave
