Problems downloading a large file over wifi

My wife's friend had a lot of trouble downloading a large (125MB) mp3 file onto her laptop from an online class website. I copied the file to my dropbox to see if that would work for her but she still could not download it. Then I suggested she try downloading on a wired computer instead of downloading it on her wireless (wifi) laptop.
