Hi,
You could try to use curl with the do shell script command instead:
do shell script "/usr/bin/curl -u user:password 'http://www.apple.com/bigfile.zip' -o '/Users/martin/Desktop/bigfile.zip'"
I never got good results with URL Access Scripting...
Bets regards from snowy Berlin,
Martin

The relevant folder on the website requires authentication, so I send the username and password in the URL:
tell application "URL Access Scripting"
end tell
This has been working fine for a while, however recently we've increased the maximum file upload size on the website to 50megs and problems have started to occur.
It would seem that URL Access Scripting can download files up to about 25 megs, but with large files it gives up half way through. Does anyone know if there is a set limit to the size of file URL Access Scripting can handle?
We're on Leopard (not snow Leopard) by the way.
Many thanks for any help you can provide,
James
