Hello,

We recently uploaded a dataset of approximately 2 TB. When trying to download it using the ''Access dataset'' button, it appears the message ''The dataset is too large to download. Please select the files you need from the files table.''. I would like to know where to find in the documentation information about the size limitations that come by default in the Dataverse installation. I've been looking this information in the Guide, but I didn't find it.

I would also like to know if it is possible to increase this amount.

Best regards,

Sherry Lake

Hello,

When you select more than one file to download, Dataverse software creates a zip file of the selected files. If the zip file contents is larger than the default, (100mb)  you get the "too large" message.

Here is how you can increase that zip file size limit: https://guides.dataverse.org/en/latest/installation/config.html#zipdownloadlimit

Best,
Sherry Lake
