  Hi,

  I’m trying to export media from our blog using the Export option under Tools. The resulting archive is 2.3GB, and I can only download about half of it before it times out. Is there another way to get an export of these files?

  Thanks.

  Hi,

  as noted on WP.com support page – https://en.support.wordpress.com/export/#exporting-the-media-library :

  If your media library is very large and/or you have a slower connection the download might time out before it completes. If your browser supports resuming a failed download you should be able to just resume it without starting over completely.

  There are few tutorials on how to resume download of failed downloads, and here are few of them (examples for Chrome browser):

  Please write back here if you’ll still have issues downloading your media content.

  Cheers
