Hi @caneeraj,
Did you try using the Free Download Manager? It should solve your issue.
Have a great day!
Hi @Kal_Lam
Yes i tried but it says attachment missing , but on the other hand if i copies the link and paste in address bar it shows the media

I live in a rural town, which means slow unreliable internet. When I try to download anything over 10MB, it usually gets interrupted at least once. Can you recommend a download manager from this tutorial that can handle stop-and-go downloads?
Hi @Zuckerbrod
What I tried was using odk briefcase to dow load data and it goes fairly well
You can try and use this , it’s better than any download manager
Cheers!

Regardless of the approach, you would definately need a relatively good connectivity to have success in download.
