Well, I just grabbed the latest SXCE, and just for the heck of it, fooled around until I got the Java Web Start to work.
Basically, one's browser needs to know the following (how to do that depends on the browser): MIME Type: application/x-java-jnlp-file File Extension: jnlp Open With: /usr/bin/javaws I got that working with both firefox and opera without inordinate difficulty. Once that was done, after clicking "accept" and selecting the three files, I clicked on the "download with sdm" box, it started sdm, and passed all three files to it. I think I also had to click start on sdm. That's it...not so bad after all. sdm has a major advantage over typical downloads done directly by browsers for such large files: if the server supports it (needs to be able to handle requests fo portions of files rather than just an entire file), it can restart failed transfers more or less automatically; and they can even be paused and resumed more or less arbitrarily. I've used that in the past to download the entire Solaris 10 CD set over a _dialup_. Took a week (well, 8 hours a day connected), but it worked.
