Chrome Download errors

If you receive any of these Chrome browser download errors, then this post will show you how to unblock files and fix these download errors on a Windows PC:

• Virus scan failed or virus detected error
• Download Blocked
• No file Error
• Forbidden error
• Disk Full error
• Network Failed Error

Needless to say, nothing works if you are not connected to the internet, so the first step should always involve checking out your connection. Check that your Internet connection is working, clear your browser cache and try again. Also, try to force resume the file download by clicking on “Resume.” Another way is to try and resume the download after a time gap.

1] Virus scan failed or virus detected error

It’s crystal clear that your virus scanning software might have blocked the download and you can simply open the antivirus tool and check the details on why the file was blocked. Yet another possibility is that the Windows Attachment Manager has already removed the file that you tried to download. Check your Windows Internet security settings for download preferences.

2] Download Blocked

This is yet another peculiar issue that is persistent with certain websites and file downloads. On Windows, this issue is usually caused when the Windows Attachment Manager has removed the file you had tried to download or perhaps your file was blocked by Windows Internet security settings.

3] No file Error

Well, this is a simple one, all it means is that you are trying to download a content that is no more hosted on the website. Again, in this case, you can try to contact the website owner or try to find some alternative site.

4] Forbidden error

Forbidden Error is a way of the system telling you that you don’t have enough permissions to download the file from the server. This is something that is very common on intranets and if you don’t have the access to the download. In case you have access to the download and are yet not able to access it make sure that your IP is not blocked by the website.

5] Disk Full error

Again a straightforward error that directly suggests you to either delete some items from your computer or simply clear the trash.

6] Network Failed Error

This error usually crops up when you are trying to save anything from Chrome Web Store and this is often caused by an unwanted software that is blocking the installation. You can remove the unwanted software and try with the installation once again, alternatively, I would personally suggest you to check if your Firewall is the culprit.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

I'm having trouble trying to download some files, usually large files but I have problems with smaller files too.

I'm able to browse any pages both in Firefox and Google Chrome, no problem at all. But if I try to download an ISO file (for example) it just keep showing 'Waiting for name.of.server...' and the download won't start. (Trying to download Linux Mint, tried all the mirrors)

On smaller files it happens too but after a few seconds the download starts.

The weird thing is this: if I open the same address on the same computer with Microsoft Edge the download starts immediately. Plus I'm running Linux Mint on my laptop and the download works too. So summarizing:

- can't download large files on Firefox and Google Chrome (it was working before);

- on the same computer the same link works on Microsoft Edge;

- on my laptop running Linux Mint all the mirrors are working fine;

- removed my antivirus software and windows defender is disabled;

- tried to run sfc and DISM but didn't help;

- sometimes when I use 'netsh winsock reset' and reboot I can download a few files on Firefox and Chrome, but stops working after a while;

Does anyone knows what is happening? I'm almost formatting my HD and installing windows 10 again but it would be better if I know what is going on.

Chrome Cannot Download This File. Error Code 102
