Hello,
on my MacBook Air (8 gpu, 512 gb) when I downloading large 56 GB file form myairbridge service on safari got prompt to force quit apps because no memory for system (polish language). Any1 have same problem? And after myairbridge download file in safari it only got 1,6 gb not whole 52 gb file...
Chrome (latest version for Apple silicon) is ok.

Can you show a screenshot of the memory tab in Activity Monitor? The download should be around half way complete when you take the screenshot.

I downloaded a 10GB file to test this and system memory doesn’t move, only cached files goes up as it should. System memory actually decreased during the download bexauss I left the system alone.

Looks like limit of cache files is 50 GB.
After passing that 50 GB system memory full and it deletes cached files

Your cache is fine, that 50GB is going into your swap file. If there is a limit to the swap that is preventing the file from downloading someone on this forum should be able to confirm.

Anyone else have a 50+ gigabyte file to test this with?

Used to have this prompt on my Intel MBA when downloading only 5 GB from mega ? (so have to use Firefox) but was able to download 25 GB from other servers just fine.

You should report this as a bug to Apple.

I would think using something like wget would bypass this.
