@kidgenesis It gets downloaded to a temp file then copied to the destination folder, so you need enough space on your main drive to complete the download.

@kidgenesis Check if the file system is Fat32, exFat, or NTFS. Fat32 is only able to hold files smaller than 4gb but exFat's max filesize is 16EiB and NTFS file systems can hold up to 256 TB.
