How to Download Large Collections
Online Aviation Library — Download Guide
Why am I seeing "System cannot zip files above 1GB"?
Our largest collections contain thousands of original engineering documents and can exceed 1GB in total size. Due to a technical limitation, files above 1GB cannot be bundled into a single ZIP download. This is normal and your files are fully accessible.
How to download your files — step by step
- Open your order confirmation email and click the Download button
- On the download page, do not click "Download All"
- Click each file individually to download them one at a time
- Save each file into a dedicated folder on your desktop as you go
- Once all files are downloaded, your collection is complete
Tips for large collections
- Use a desktop or laptop — mobile devices may struggle with large files
- Make sure you have enough free disk space before starting
- Use a stable internet connection — Wi-Fi is recommended for large archives
- If a download fails mid-way, simply click that file again to restart it
