In my app, I need to download a large zip file and my server(NodeJs) is providing zip using streams to the client but when the file created is too large I am getting network failed error after downloading some amount of file. Here is my sample client code:

<form method="post" action="somewhere" >
<input type="text" name="resources[]" value="resource1"/>
<input type="text" name="resources[]" value="resource2"/>
<input type="text" name="resources[]" value="resource3"/>
  <input type="submit" value="post request"/>
</form>

Also I after some research I found that it might be possible that the client is unable to consume the streams properly. There I get to know about FileSaver. Should I try it or there is something wrong on my client or server? Here is my server sample: DownloadServer

Do your failed requests take the same time always? – Burak Gavas Mar 17 '20 at 14:55
There is no React code in your code snippet, so I can't really help you there. – mzedeler Mar 17 '20 at 19:07
in above html code nothing is wrong , add more relevant code to see problem – Adeel Nawaz Mar 18 '20 at 05:07
@BurakGavas No, neither the time is fixed nor the size is fixed after which it starts getting a network error. I have edited the question please have a look again. – Raghu Chahar Mar 18 '20 at 05:16
@mzedeler OK then think of it as plain HTML-JS. I edited the question, please have a look again. – Raghu Chahar Mar 18 '20 at 05:17
