Hello Bryan. The LATEST-Stable.iso.gz is just a symlink to the latest 
ISO. This would explain why your download gets halted, since this 
symlink changes every 24 hours to a new image.

Try to download this ISO image, it is the latest one on my mirror. Also, 
make sure you download with some kind of resume-capable download 
software incase your connection is unrelieable.

(replace http with ftp if you prefer that).

Hope this helps!
