So I'm trying to download my windows ISO through Qubes so I can add it to my Qubes but half way through the download, it keeps failing, regardless if I use my personal or disposable VM. What's going on?

The initial default maximum storage size for AppVM's is only set at 2 gigabytes, I believe, so trying to download anything larger will cause an insufficient space failure.

Change the storage size maximum value in the VM's settings, either from Qubes Manager or the cascading Q-menu for that AppVM.
