View submission: Urgent help needed: Downloading Google Takeout data before expiration
get some disk space to download it locally
I recommend 'Free Download Manager' I haven't FULLY tested it, but it worked GREAT for one 447gb download last week. I couldn't get the TORRENT version to complete, and the version from Archive.org[1] wasn't reliable enough
So I just took my archive.org[2] link, put it into Free Download Manager and let it download
After about a day, I paused the download so that I could do some gaming, then it resumed just perfectly
best of luck!

I haven't tried that one specifically and I'm a little nervous about the way Google caps download attempts on the links. I've run into that before where it fails too many times and then won't let me try to download it anymore. But I also think Google throttles these and does things like this weird page refresh and frequent reauthorization to make it hard to download multiple at once and had to use any third party tools for download.
