Try to download Fedora image from link. Stops at 1.08GB

Have you tried using wget to resume the download?

Multiple times. Changed webbrowsaer as well. File seems to be capped somehow.

wget --no-check-certificate did the trick. Thank you @archanox

Just as an oddity, Chrome 101 on MacOS stopped three times for me when I downloaded it. It was about once per multiple of a gig (just eyeballing it) but in each case, clicking continue (if you noticed the fairly obscure UI that told you it was paused) would allow it to resume. My image did checksum correctly.

Because of the specifity of the initial report and a couple of "me, too"s (I'm one) we can actually see this is a thing that's happening on the internet. All clues point to an nginx buffer temp file being sized 1GB by default.

(low value, but confirmation)
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25039916/nginx-node-js-express-download-big-files-stop-at-1-08gb seems to have believable suggestions, but there are nuances in the answers.

It does look like an admin of https://fedora.starfivetech.com/ is going to have to intervene. For a 3.7G file, writing a copy to a temp file while you serve it certainly seems like a dubious plan. Is proxy_max_temp_file_size or proxy_request_buffering to blame? Dunno, but triggering at exact multiples of 1GB is surely a clue.

If you'd like a U.S. mirror (primary?), buzz me. I'm already serving the RISC-V versions of Fedora for D1 because Great Firewall performance was otherwise poor.
