Hello. I am on Chrome OS, and whenever I try to download a large file (Probably over 1 GB) after about 2-3 gigabytes of progress, the download stops and says "Download unsuccessful". I have enough storage, so what is the problem?!?
 
Hey. Sorry, haha. This is gonna sound dumb but I just now figured out that the WiFi reception is super bad in my room despite the fact that I am 1. Using a WiFi extender not even that far from the router, and 2. the fact that I am less than 15 feet away from the router. But it is proved right, since my connection was just amazingly faster once I moved into the living room; where the router rests. In my defense, I only use ethernet connections in the room I miserably had to sit through while my connection took a toll on my sanity. So I wouldn't have known if it was because of the room I was in. Thank you so much for your advice and help, and I appreciate you taking the time to help me. Peace.
