Q: my macbook pro retina display won't download big files
I have had this issue happen to me twice before involving 1gig zipped files or unzipped files appearing to be finished in the download bar. It shows for example 309.5 out of 309.5, the loading bar doesn't disappear. I try to click on it and it tells me "this fils is still downloading". So I look for it in my downloads folder, click on open package contents, I look for the file and click on it that way, it gives me the option to unarchive the zip folder, I do that then it gives me an error message saying "Files are not completed". (I give it hours upon hours to "finish loading" and then try again)
So...this was recently. The first file I had wanted to download was the Adobe Creative Design Premium (I waited half a day until the next day for this download before clicking on it again) directly given to me from the downloads section of adobe.com. I needed to reinstall the software due to some unknown error (YOSEMITE MOST LIKELY) anyways...I start the download, it finishes--but not really. Something happens. So I try it on Chrome, same issue. So then I try it on a PC--Done. No hassle.
So far I have not seen this issue arise with anyone else.
The zip file in question is .7z file and 335.9 MB and the creative design premium was a .dmg and 3.76 GB. I am running Safari on a
