Matthew if your script finishes the download before it would run into 
the quota - you have no reason to use a quota at all. But even in those 
cases when script is running enough to run into the quota I have no idea 
how download breaking in the middle of a file may broke your script. Can 
you explain what really your script doing and how it can be broken in 
such situation?
