I am trying to download a very large tarball (>100 GB) but I can't open tha archive. I am wondering if the download manager may be truncating the file.

I downloaded a large .tar file (should be over 100 GB) and tried to unpack it with 7zip, but I got an error message saying "Can not open file 'X.tar' as archive." I am trying to download it again in case it was just a random corruption or something, but since I have a few hours to kill, I was wondering if the problem may be that there is a limit to the size of files the download manager will handle.

Hi Salmonarm,
Sorry no one replied earlier, you have probably solved the problem yourself by now.

I am not aware of any Firefox limitations on download size.

Are there any systems available for checking for corruption. Often downloads have hash values that can be used to check.

Also do you know the compressed file size, does it appear to have downloaded fully.

Are you running into limitations due to available folder or file size on your drive or file system.
