Nick, 

This solution doesn't fix your admin ftp quota problem but it WILL
allow you to install this monster size pkg file without worrying about
dial-up timeouts or other such expected problems encountered when trying
to throw a 21MB file around.

Telnet/ssh in the server.
cd /home/packages
wget "ftp://ftp.cobalt.com/pub/packages/raq3/eng/RaQ3-All-Security-3.0.1-8061.pkg";

The pkg file will then be retrieved.
Logout and go back to the gui.

Check the 'loaded' radio button in the Install Software option and you'll
see all the pkg files you've downloaded to the /home/packages directory.

I do this with two windows. One window has the ssh window and the other is 
a browser window loaded with the Cobalt Download page. Right click on the pkg file link
and select "Copy shortcut" then go to the ssh window and paste it right into the command
line after you type the wget command. 

wget is a very useful utility. Type 'man wget' for more info (without the quotes)
