Sorry to jump in here Ahmed Saami !
You said you were trying to download the file locally to the device. Do you have enough space on the device to do so? Have you tried a different device?
Also, do you use a Basic account? If not, can you try adding the file directly to your Dropbox account, and then downloading it from there?
