Windows 10: Downoading large zip from Brave browser to External HDD

Hi!I work in media and often need to download large zips of footage to am external hard drive.Every time I do this it wants to clear my browser cookies. Not a problem cleared.But what else happens is that my local C: drive all of a a sudden gets slow and says it has 0 storage space and that I need to free up storage. C: drive is 240GB and had 57GB free upon download start...even though I'm downloading to an external drive with 4 TB of free storage ...?Is there a caching process somewhere that needs to be taken into considerationPC Specsrocessor IntelR CoreTM i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70GHz 3.

Brave Browser


I recently started using Brave because Firefox was tediously slow.
Everything worked fine until I used <Ctrl><Insert> to copy a URL & Brave enlarged the top area with the Browser Menu, the search/URL bar & tab-headers and I can't find a way to undo it. Any suggestions?

PS Via the menu you can add a menu.

 

Brave browser crashes instantly.

I installed Brave browser to my Windows 11 PC. But when I try to open it I see a white screen less than a second and it dissapers instantly. I tried reinstalling the browser, installing a older version or using Microsoft Store to install it but nothing changed. Then I reinstall Windows 11 and I managed to install Brave this time. Then I use the browser for a while but the same problem started showing later. Sometimes I can open Brave but it crashes after about 30 seconds. I uninstalled all my 3rd party programs and nothing changed.

Later, I used a VM Windows 11 to use Brave but same problem again and I have too Laptops that are also Windows 11 and they can run Brave browser like normal.

Can someone help me?

 

Do you use the Brave browser?

I use Brave and its a good browser with a couple of caveats: a) don't use the sync feature until Brave gets around to fixing it. At the moment it is the cause of much angst; b, if you download torrents, you need to go in to the Brave settings and disable using Brave to download, i.e., use whatever torrent app you currently use and not Brave. The reason is that the Brave browser downloads torrents to RAM and as soon as you turn off the browser the torrents are gone. This has also caused a lot of angst. c) Also, the Brave BAT wallet may not work for you if you're in to the crypto side of things. Reports of lost tokens have also - get ready - caused a lot of angst. Suggest you check out the Brave Community. Brave has lots of tickets to deal with.
