Unable download large file from Azure Storage

Question

I'm unable to download a huge file to C:Download from an Azure Storage Blob container (using SAS). With Windows Server 2012 R2 / 2019, I tested Azure Storage Explorer 1.10.1 / 1.20.0 / 1.20.1.

I also experimented using AzCopy. It's a 127-gigabyte vhd file.

It lasts around 35 minutes before failing.

What's the problem with that? Could you possibly offer me with a solution that works?

Answer 1

If your download from the Azure Storage Blob container fails, check the SAS Expiry date (se parameter in your SAS token), as the download may fail if the SAS token expires.
If the SAS token has not expired, examine the azcopy logs, which may contain information about the failure.
