I've been trying to download iTunes videos, but I'm having problems with a nuisance error. I don't have a very fast bandwidth pipe, but I shouldn't have a timeout problem. The video downloads normally without interruption, but when it gets to about 85%, iTunes cancels the download and displays a timeout error.

What is causing this error and can it be fixed? I've had this timeout problem with too many other Web sites. These Web admins like to assume that you should have a dedicated Mbps pipe for their content, and that you should be kicked out if you don't have it downloaded in a few seconds. If it hasn't been stalled for a few minutes, it shouldn't time-out.
