I'm currently trying to download a file that's over 100 GB using Firefox on Windows 11, but the progress has completely stalled. It seemed to happen after I left my computer for a bit, and I suspect it went into sleep mode. The download speed reading has been consistently stuck at 0 MB/s, which doesn't seem right. I've had to restart the download several times because it keeps failing, although thankfully, it does retain some progress. I really don't want to cancel the download and start from scratch. Any thoughts on what might be going wrong?

First things first, did you disable the sleep mode after it caused this issue? Sleep mode can definitely mess with downloads, especially for such a large file. It's also possible that the server you're downloading from might be causing interruptions. Just a little check, do you have enough disk space on your C drive for the download?
Just a heads up, there’s a small typo in your title. It should probably say ‘0< MB/s’. But back to your download issue—make sure your downloads folder isn't full. That could also cause hiccups.
A quick tip is to try pausing and then resuming the download. Sometimes, if the link times out when your PC goes to sleep, that can refresh the connection and get it moving again.
