after downloading for about an hour, the download just stops
for any download i try that is too big for my wifi to download in about an hour or two, the download will just stop without completing. I usually use the tiana server as it is the closest to my location in the US, so thinking that was the problem i tried the server in germany. this server did the exact same thing. this is really sad because now i can't install windows 95/98 on DOSBox, meaning i cant even run any windows applications (unless it is Windows 1.x, 2.x, 3.x or works on wine) on my chromebook as i have a distro of linux.
this happens on any computer i have.
does anyone else have this problem?
to moderators: please contact if possible.

I've not had a reason to check, but maybe WinWorldPC supports resuming a download. That might also be something to try. When it does that stopping thing, restart the browser and try to "resume" the download.
Not those garbage adware ones though. I feel you, firefox does this to me at times as well.
I’ll try a download manager though and say if it works.
Try the other mirror from what you tried. Otherwise, just try again after some time has elapsed or use a wired Ethernet connection instead of WiFi, as well as a different user-agent.
WinWorld has advanced abuse protections in place and this could be posing an undefined issue under higher loads. I put the IP check tool in last week as a quick hack-job otherwise nobody has ever been willing to be a reliable debug target and I have never bothered to implement anything else I've wanted to to assist with figuring out these types of problems. We do have many big downloads that complete daily for many users and we probably do need more mirrors, but everyone's getting your downloads for free.
