The connection was dropped and rtmpdump tried to resume the download and 
append to the existing FLV file.  The resume process often fails.  You 
can try the --start option to pick up from where it died. Just remember 
to rename the previous partial download so rtmdump doesn't attempt to 
resume again.  Otherwise, there's not much you can do but delete the 
partial download and restart.

As you say, nothing to do with file system limitations.  You'd 
downloaded less than 2GB anyway.  Your email address suggests you may be 
attempting to download from the US, which means you might be using a 
proxy or VPN.  The problem may lie there.
