You might try Telneting or ssh'ing into your server and use FTP from there to pick it up directly from the merchant's site. Servers from many providers have a 100mbps connection to the Internet, so a file that size often just takes few minutes.

If it's CJ they can FTP the data right to your server. Not sure if that helps you though.

Does your host run Coldfusion?

If so, it's this easy....

<cfhttp
url="h**p://www.merchant.com/datafeedfile.txt"
method="GET"
path="C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\datafeeds\"
>
</cfhttp>

Place it in one of your admin pages and simply call the page.
