Here&#8217;s How to Fix<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below we have mentioned various reasons for the Chrome downloading problems alongside the solutions for them. If you&#8217;re having trouble with downloading files in the browser or if they get stuck or fail automatically, proceed with the steps below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Check_Your_Internet\"><\/span>1. Check Your Internet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The first thing you need to check if your download gets stuck in Chrome is your internet connection. Chrome or any other browser may have trouble with downloads if you do not have stable internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can try switching to a mobile hotspot, restarting your router, or trying a different network altogether to see if it solves the problem. Besides, you can also restart the browser and your PC. If nothing helps, follow the other methods below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"580\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/no-internet-1024x580.jpg\" alt=\"Fix Chrome Stopping Downloads\" class=\"wp-image-3497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/no-internet-1024x580.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/no-internet-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/no-internet-768x435.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/no-internet.jpg 1067w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Update_Chrome_to_Latest_Version\"><\/span>2. Update Chrome to Latest Version<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Ensure you are on the latest version of Chrome, as the latest updates have fixed the issues with Chrome downloads. With the latest version, Chrome automatically pauses the download instead of canceling it if the internet is not stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Turn_Off_the_Antivirus_or_Firewall\"><\/span>3. Turn Off the Antivirus or Firewall<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes the antivirus and firewall program on your device can prevent Chrome from downloading certain files. Turn off these programs and try downloading again. If it works fine, make exceptions to those programs to use them while downloading files.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Change_the_Download_Location_in_Chrome\"><\/span>4. Change the Download Location in Chrome<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sometimes Chrome may stop the downloading if there isn&#8217;t enough space in the download location. You can solve this by changing the <a href=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/blog\/3396\/change-download-location-on-chrome-edge-firefox-opera\/\">download location<\/a> of Chrome to the drive with higher available space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"579\" src=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2-1-1024x579.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2-1-1024x579.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2-1-300x170.jpg 300w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2-1-768x434.jpg 768w, https:\/\/browsertouse.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/c2-1.jpg 1210w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Download_the_File_in_Incognito_mode\"><\/span>5.
