Ok, so I've been trying to download a file thats around 20GB, and normally this takes around 2 to 3 hours. Now, when i download said file, it goes from 

1 hour, to 3, to 7, to 4 days, etc, until it completely stops and gives this error.
Couldn't Download - Network Issue

I'm using the latest version of Microsoft Edge, and My internet is just fine. Yet its having trouble with downloading this when a couple of weeks ago i downloaded a file 4x as big.

WHAT THE ****?!!!

    Good Day DerekMcConkey,

    My name is Carlo, I'm an Independent Advisor and community member like you.

    I am also using Windows 10 pc. Let us work together to sort this out.

    Here's the steps you can try.

    -Open Edge and click the 3 dots at the upper right side of your screen.

    -Go to Settings

    -Look for Reset Settings

    -Click Restore settings to their default values.

    (This will reset your startup page, new tab page, search engine, and pinned tabs. It will also disable all extensions and clear temporary data like cookies. Your favorites, history and saved passwords will not be cleared.)

    -Press Windows key + X

    -Go to Settings

    -Click Update and Security

    -Click Troubleshooter then Additional troubleshooter.

    -Look for Internet Connection and run the troubleshooter.

    -Click Start, type CMD and run as administrator

    -Copy and paste each of the command below and hit enter.

    netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=disable

    netsh int ip reset

    netsh advfirewall reset

    netsh winsock reset

    ipconfig / flushdns

    ipconfig / release

    ipconfig / renew

    Restart your computer and try to download the file.

    I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

    Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

    Sincerely,

    Carlo T.
