Can you please clear your browser's cache and try an incognito window without any plugins or extensions running and let me know if you get the same results?

Thanks a bunch!

    I am having exactly the same problem. I tried for three hours this morning. I tried to use different browsers, incognito mode, cleared all caches, tried different wifi connections and different computers and I still have the problem. Can anyone help?!

      Hi ccd2, welcome to our Community! 

       

      How large is the content you're trying to download? 

       

      Can you also send us a screenshot of the error you see on your end? 

       

      Thanks a bunch!

        Thank you!

        I feel like I have tried everything and I am desperate to find a solution 😞
