Hi,

Yes, the issue also happens when downloading directly from the browser without any download manager.

I’ve tried with and without VPN, on different networks, and the problem persists. No special proxy, firewall, or security software is blocking Dropbox as far as I know.

I can download large files from other sites without any issue.

Could you try asking the owner of the shared links to create a Dropbox Transfer link to send the files to you directly to see if this helps?
