I am having problems downloading Xcode v2.2. I have managed to download 76% (642MB) of the total 834MB, but I am unable to move ahead with the download because my download manager (DAP) shows a 'broken link' error. The name of the file being downloaded is 'getSoftware_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1_1' (I think the '_1' increase in number with size of the download).
What do I do? Has anybody faced any similar problems recently?

I had this problem, too. It happens when you are downloading from a slow link, and your download takes longer than 1 day. The Apple website hosting the Xcode 2.2 image sets cookies that last only 24 hours. When your download manager re-connects after 24 hours has passed those cookies are no longer valid, and the website returns a 404 error code to your download manager. The download manager says the file no longer exists.
Here's the workaround: you have a partial file now. Move that file aside, to a new name, for safekeeping. Login again to the ADC website and start a new download of the Xcode 2.2 image. When it gets started, stop your download manager immediately. Copy the partial file you received already (76% size) over top of the new file that is started with your download manager. Don't rename or otherwise erase the partial file you've spent so long downloading already ... just copy it over top of the new download just started.
Then, restart your download manager. It should start from the new size, and continue, with new cookies being sent to the ADC website. This doesn't work with Safari's download manager, because Safari keeps an Info.plist around with the size of the file it has downloaded, it doesn't check the *actual* filesize. Safari's download manager always restarts from the last byte it received, not from the current end of the physical file. Your download manager might do the same. Be prepared for that, there are other hoops to go through if it does this too.
If you have further questions, contact me directly. because it's not really xcode operational trouble you are having so we can take it off the list.
