I have searched the existing issues, both open and closed, to make sure this is not a duplicate report.

The bug

When downloading an entire album via WEB ~1GB (211 items) on IOS (both Chrome and Safari, remote and LAN), the download bar will go partially, like ~30%, then stop. Then never resume. v1.138.0 and 1.137 both have this issue. Android does not have this problem on the same networks, LAN and remote. I'm not sure what's stopping the download. This happens on multiple iPhones of different ages. Multiple Android phones have no issues.

Not sure if this has been resolved but this I'm still encountering this issue when trying to download the entire album via Web (safari) on an iOS device. The album I have is 70 images (~850 MB) and it fails to download in entirety every single time. This makes immich effectively unusable for sharing images if your friends/family primarily use iOS devices.

Im using Immich Public Proxy as a workaround right now. But thats only a workaround and you need to let Safari open while it downloads.
