Why is MSIE 90 big files posing download challenge?

Asked By janetsbraswell 50 points N/A Posted on - 04/05/2013

Hi! Why is it that in MSIE 90 big files seems to be impossible to download? I have a file which is 2.6GB and I have been trying to download it but every time it does not complete. Could this be a limitation by Microsoft or could it be some kind of error on the browser? Please share with me what you know about this.

Hello there Janet,

There is no error on what you are doing, it is just that your Internet connection is not good enough to download such big file. All you need to do is to upgrade your Internet connection so that it can capable of downloading such big files as what you are downloading.

Hope this helps you.

Regards, Roland

Hello Janet,

You can try using a different browser. These are some of the most used browsers, Google chrome, Mozilla Firefox, and internet explorer.

For downloading files as big as the one you are downloading you will need a download manager with automatic resume capability so that your download/s will still complete in the event of an interruption.

I personally use an application called internet download manager.

They have a free trial version and you can download it here.

Thank you,
