In the last few days I have been having a lot of problems downloading from LV. I tried both Safari and Chrome, but what keeps happening is that the download will get down to about 2-3 MB from the end and then it will cut off, and I get a message that says "Network problem". I don't know if it's something on my end or if something odd is happening with the site, so I thought I'd ask if anyone else is having trouble.

Other than one late evening when I was able to download a couple of things a week or so ago I am still not able to download from the LV catalog. I try a few times a day, and still get the "network connection was lost" message right at the end. I tried downloading a file from another site and it came right through easily, so I don't think it's happening on my end. Should I be writing to someone at Internet Archive about this?

Does your browser have the option to resume the download. In Chrome that works for me.

Thank you for the suggestion. I've tried using the resume button in Chrome, but it restarts the download from zero instead of picking up where it left off, 99% of the way there. I've been able to download a couple of smaller books lately after a few tries.
