I'm having a frustrating issue with downloading larger files (anything over 50 MB) on my Windows 11 computer. Every time I try, I get this annoying "Network error," and I have to keep hitting the resume button to get anything done. It's happening with all browsers, and it doesn't seem to matter if I'm on Ethernet or not. Any advice on how to fix this?

You might want to try using a download manager like Free Download Manager. It helps manage large downloads better, and it might bypass whatever is causing the issue. Also, just double-check your internet connection—sometimes it can be a little glitchy even with Ethernet. Really worth a shot!
What do your speed test results say? If the speed is inconsistent, it could be causing the dropouts during downloads. Might also be worth checking with your ISP if this continues to happen.
Have you tried restarting your modem? Just unplug the power cord, wait a bit, and then plug it back in. That often helps reset any underlying issues with the connection. After that, see if the downloading gets smoother!
I don't think my internet is the problem since I'm on Ethernet, but I’ll give the download manager a try!
