google colab wont finish downloading file

Question

I am working on my notebook in google colab. To save my progress I imported the files module from from google.colab import files and I am using files.download(file_name) function to download the file with my data.

However, When I run the code it seems like the command is stuck. The output I get is the following

This loading bar is running for couple hours and wont finish (it didn't make any progress visually speaking).

The file isn't more than a few dozens MB and I was able to download it with the colab's file explorer

Using this method it took me no more than a few minutes to download the file
