If Google Chrome is failing to download any files, giving an insufficient. Error is just what it says; for whatever reason, it can't write to the download directory. What should I do if I can't download anything from Play Store? 3,767 Views While downloading from Google Play Store, why does it show “download pending”?
I have the latest version of Chrome. Not only can’t I download, but I can’t download Chrome extensions, so I can’t use them.
I have a download manager and once in a while I can download a PDF, but that is it. I have reinstalled the program. I tried to get help on Chrome, but they have had a lot of people with this problem and they never replied to help them. So since Make Use Of is my guru, I thought you could help.
I click the direct link to the file and it just does nothing. No loading or anything. Some places work, some places don't. I also checked in my Downloads folder, nothing started downloading.
Any suggestions?

Try another browser and see if you have the same issue. Its probably an AV/firewall issue. A while back I had a conflict with Spyware Doctor and Chrome. Even if I created an exception to allow full access, it wouldn't work. Had to disable kernel compatibility mode. So check your protection settings for any anti-malware you are running including the not so obvious ones.

Head over to
about:flags and check if you have the 'New Download UI' enabled. If so, disable it.

I had the same issue some time ago, just for some pages. For me it was my virus scanner (avast.. or was it avira, one of them). I just exchanged it.
