Netrw attempts to minimize the number of times that a password may be
needed, so it doesn't attempt to find out what the file size is before
getting the file via scp (or ftp).

LargeFile, like DL's example, uses getfsize() to do its automatic
large-file determination.

However, it does have a "force-it" option: try using :Large!
(instead of :Large).
