there a way to fix this? Or any other download manager that can andle
this sites?

This problem can be fixed if you set 'Chunk number' to '1' (
Tools>Extension>Download ThemAll>Preference>Advanced )

it seems to me that this link doesn't support multipart download.
also it seems to me that It's a Bug of Download ThemAll extension
as it can't detect automatically that the link doesn't support
multipart download (my external downloader program and also
default Download manager of Firefox can save that file without any
problem. ) You should report it as a bug at
http://www.downthemall.net/index.php?page_id=5

also 'enable diagnostic log' at Tools>Extension>Download
ThemAll>Preference>Privacy . It sometimes help you to solve this
extension related problem.
