Misleading error upon get-content of too large file #289

Open JuliaSprenger opened 4 years ago

When attempting do download a file that is larger than the remaining free disk space, gin-cli (version 1.10 Build 001448) reports Downloading "<filename>" failed: authorisation failed or remote storage unavailable.

Thanks for the issue. This seems innocuous on the surface but I imagine it can drive a user spend a lot of time troubleshooting the wrong problem, so I'm going to prioritise for a quick release.

I think a similar phenomenon occurs when gin-cli is attempting to unlock a file that is too large to be copied. Here the feedback is 'Nothing to be done' instead of 'Out of disk space'.
