Default [Q] is there a download file size limit?

Hey guys, I'm new here so I hope i am asking this in the correct forum.
I have an att Expo with stock Rom, win 6.5 and I am trying to download a large file for the internet.
The file is about 76mb. I have about 30mb free on the phone and I have a 2 gb memory card the is empty.
When I try downloading it directly to the memory card it gets about half way through (Im guessing about 30 mb into it) and then gives me a error message about running out of memory. ''You are criticaly low on Memory'' or something.
My question is, To download this file do I need 76 mb of space on the handset so that it can then be transfered to the memory card after download? if so then Is there a way to download directly to the memory card without using device storage?

Thanks guys, you rock!

I am pretty sure that you are running out of ram when you download the file; I could be wrong though? also why dont you just connect your expo to your pc and get the file that way?

I actually needed the file while I was at work and I did not have a computer handy. But I was able to get the file using Pocket Downloader freeware. It downloads it directly to the sd card regardless of ram size.

Thanks for the reply.

All you guys still rock.
