Preparing for large file downloads

If your browser does not have enough storage space, the download will not start. When using a PC, try the following. (Smartphones or tablets are not suitable for processing large files.)

Why does it say there's not enough space when my storage has plenty of capacity? (Applies to Chrome and Chrome-based browsers like Edge)

When a download starts, file.kiwi stores all split file parts in the browser's cache area (this is to support resuming downloads if they fail). After all split files are saved, it attempts to save them to your actual download folder. Even if the storage device containing your download folder (for example, D: drive) has enough space, file.kiwi will show an insufficient space message if the storage device where Chrome is installed (for example, C: drive) doesn't have enough capacity. If you continue to see insufficient space errors even when C: has plenty of space, try restarting your PC or using a different browser (Chrome or Edge).

If you have multiple storage devices connected to your PC (for example, if you have a D: or E: drive in addition to the C: drive), try changing the storage device.

Delete unnecessary files to increase storage space. The free space on the storage device must be at least twice the size of the file you want to download.

Unnecessary temporary data may be accumulated in your browser. In this case, even if you delete the downloaded files, the total free space does not increase. If this happens, try deleting temporary files.
