When I try to download any of the large RDF data files from the ODP, I get an error. For example, when trying to grab structure.rdf.gz via IE 5.5 I get this error:

ERROR /rdf/structure.rdf.gz : Maximum extract size exceeded - File not fully scanned.

I assume that this means that the file is being unzipped at some point in the process? How do I grab these files successfully?

I use Opera to download the rdf. I believe there are a couple of other methods that won't extract it while downloading, but I haven't investigated them since Opera worked.

If you have access to a shell account, try using lynx, curl, or wget. Any of those should allow you to dump the file without trying to gunzip it in the process.
