Have you ever experienced large file downloads fail very close to the finishing point?

I really don't know anything that can be more frustrating than a large file download failing midway. Imagine trying to download a file of 14GB and it fails very close to the download completion. Maybe it failed around 85%. How does such a situation feel to you?

Can you share what type of files you are downloading. I usually do not download very large files . Earlier I was using a download manager so that data was not wasted.

I think modern download managers allow downloads to resume from where it failed or to resume at some point at least.

It is a very frustrating experience to for a file download to fail almost at point of completion. That's why I always use the most reliable network to download large files.

That’s pure pain. You already mentally spent the file, then it just disappears at the finish line. It’s not even the time lost, it’s the false hope right before it fails. Way more frustrating than if it died early.

This is definitely one of the most annoying things to experience. I have experienced this several times. I remember downloading a file of 2GB or for it to restart at around 98% of downloading.
