GOOGLE download?

[Biff the Adequate]

Is it just me who's having an issue downloading from Google? Just picked up the Neon Dark City Streets HDRI set and TWELVE times I've tried to download it! It's a biggy at 4.9Gb but the download was slow and failed TWELVE times!! Did I mention TWELVE enough times? Sigh, I know I'm old and grumpy but FFS!

Let's try again....

Always get trouble with Google [ and several others that are becoming popular].

Still [in spite of critics] find Mega the most reliable.

In general, you shouldn't have any problems... I download from Google Drive at more than 30Mb/second...
It may be a problem of hard disk space (as temporary...), or that it is formatted in FAT32, which does not accept more than 2Gb in any file... NTFS supports X Gb files...
And no "VPN" ....
Check your IP connection, and change DNS...

Is it a one-off problem or are you having issues with Google drive files all the time?

Things to try:

Reboot your router/modem. Turn it off and leave it for for at least 30 seconds before turning it back on again.

Reboot your PC. From Windows 10 onwards, a 'shutdown' isn't always a full, hard shutdown. Use the reboot option instead.

If you're using a wired connection, check that the network cable isn't damaged and that is properly plugged in at both ends.

Try at a different time of day. If you're in an area with a lot of people using the internet via the same ISP you could have contention problems where you're all sharing limited bandwidth.

Thanks gang. I'd actually tried all those things before posting, plus other sites were downloading just fine. I haven't tried since as I've not had the time, but we'll see if it's cleared up some later on 🙂

Thanks again!
