Can't download anything to my virtual machine using vmware fusion 12

Hi everyone;

I'm currently facing a problem while downloading quartus 2 onto my windows 11 64bit virtual machine( I use Vmware fusion 12). It gives an error about network connection after it downloads 600 mb. Is it something that is caused by the virtual machine settings ? What can I do to get rid of this problem?

Have you tried to download the software from the host (macOS) and see if you get the same issue?

I have seen this from time to time.  There's a bunch of potential causes - browser cache issues, virtual disk hesitation when it expands, shared folder hesitation, etc.

As Technogeezer suggests, download on the host and access via shared folders is the least-frustrating way around it.
