Download fails with "Connection lost" (sync) or "Download failed" (browser) randomly

Support intro

Sorry to hear you’re facing problems :slightly_frowning_face:

help.nextcloud.com is for home/non-enterprise users. If you’re running a business, paid support can be accessed via portal.nextcloud.com where we can ensure your business keeps running smoothly.

In order to help you as quickly as possible, before clicking Create Topic please provide as much of the below as you can. Feel free to use a pastebin service for logs, otherwise either indent short log examples with four spaces:

Some or all of the below information will be requested if it isn’t supplied; for fastest response please provide as much as you can :heart:

Nextcloud version (eg, 12.0.2): 16.0.1
Operating system and version (eg, Ubuntu 17.04): OpenSUSE 15.1
Apache or nginx version (eg, Apache 2.4.25): Apache 2.4.33
PHP version (eg, 7.1): 7.3
Hardware: Raspberry Pi 3B+

The issue you are facing:
The download is cut randomly and fails both in sync and browser. No errors are produced. I can upload files without any problems.
I suspect it’s fpm settings, or fcgid settings. I’m posting everything, including redis settings. :slight_smile: I really need help.

Is this the first time you’ve seen this error? (Y/N): Y

Steps to replicate it:

Seems just like my problem.

Can you download a single large file without interruption?

It looks like the same problem yes. I can’t download a single large file without interruption. Have you tried a fresh install?

There was another post about a similar problem, said they’ve changed their router and it fixed the problem.

I’m running my router at home, changed a couple of settings that might interfere with the connection and interrupt it, which solved my problems, just now. I hope you find a solution.

That’s interesting. I am using a Fritzbox and can’t think of an option that might affect local connections in that way. Were you trying to access your nextcloud from within your local network? If yes, what changes did you do to your router configuration?

I will be sending a message with details.

Hi, what settings did you change in your router. I think I am having the same problem?
