Google drive ALWAYS craps out on me at the very last 200-300 kb and 'fails'
the download. Mega just sits there and recycles ENDLESSLY at 83% going back
down to 82%. It can keep this up all day. Both of these situations happen
consistently.
I find it hard to believe that my browser is causing me all this grief but
I'm thinking of installing Ms I.E. to see if using that would cause either
of these downloads to finish. The fact that many people can download without
effort while a few people have the same issues as me points to it being a
problem on my end. I just cannot fathom what that problem is.

As far as problems with Firefox and google drive, it's best to start with clearing the cache as another poster mentioned.
In general browser download problems are usually due to a setting in the browser changed somehow, or a firewall/security/anti-malware program.
Try running down this list.
1. Clear cache,browsing history, and cookies. Easier to do with a tool designed for the task. I use CCleaner but there many out there that works fine.
2. Set your browsers security settings back to either the default setting, or one you feel comfortable with that will allow the necessary interaction between browser and what ever service/site you are trying to access or use. The case here being google drive.
3. Check your firewall settings to make sure the software/service isn't being blocked. This would be a good time to make sure notifications on blocked services/software isn't disabled somehow.This happens a lot. if you or somebody else inadvertently turned off notifications in the firewall settings, you won't know if something is being blocked.
4. Check your anti-malware/virus protection and make sure it isn't interfering with or blocking the software/service.
5. Last, which I do not recommend unless you have no alternative; if you have done all the above and still no joy on the download, try disabling firewall and any malware/virus scanners you have temporarily. See if it allows the download to finish.If it does it is obviously a setting or something in one or both of those. I'd do them one at a time, first the firewall, check it. If that doesn't work, then the antimalware. If it still didn't work try both.
AGAIN only do this temporarily and for testing purposes!!!
