Seeing as I have AT&T Internet, I'm well aware of its many issues and foibles. I generally prefer it to, say, Comcast. I also recently managed to direct-download a file well over five gigabytes -- and while it was a major pain in the posterior for several reasons, I *did* manage it.
Mind, I haven't used their DSL service as my primary for a good while.
The Wanderer is doing whatever he's doing; I'm going to try to upload to MediaFire (which apparently still supports static download links so wget's resume functions should work there). Here's a link: https://www.mediafire.com/file/c6a1dhvf84h54ak/MasterOfTheCrystals_VXAce.exe/file .
Other possibilities include BitTorrent (although there are no clients I'd even vaguely recommend given Win XP) or whatever legacy downloader(s) you may have... but there's a limit to how much we can do for you.

{And no, your internet isn't cutting out "because the file is too large." It
doesn't work that way. It's more likely that it just takes long enough to
download that your Internet's periodic ? outages/cuts/interruptions are
occurring frequently enough that your download can't finish between them.}
You -really- don't know how bad AT&T is, do you?
I think it is because the file's too large. I've tried downloading things
from other places. If the file is too large, it cuts out. No matter where I
am downloading from. If it's not too large, it doesn't. Smaller files, on
the same sites, are downloadable. I think AT&T just doesn't want large files
downloaded.:( I would not put it past them. They do so like limiting things
lately.
I've already linked MasterSplitter. All that needs to be done is splitting
the file into a few 100 mb files. Those I could download with my internet.
