Application Scenarios
Designed for large file downloads, such as installation packages and media files.
Unlike a normal web download (such as an ***a*** tag), this approach requires the download page to stay open. We recommend adding a reminder to prevent users from closing the page. :::note This plugin is not suitable for downloading files smaller than 10MB
