Issue when trying to download a 50 GB file from the website

Downloading a 50GB MOV file will complete the download incompletely. The file size is correct, but part of the file is 0x00 for 1024KB. Occurs when downloading multiple files at once with a browser...

Are you downloading files from the same shared link, or from different shared links at the same time?

I'm downloading with one shared link.
This link links to a folder. I choose one of the multiple files in the folder and download it. When the download starts, select the next file and download it. By repeating this, 5 downloads are performed in parallel at the same time.

    Not any workaround for files <50 Gb.
    It’s just impossible. Big problem. Just Crazy.
