That's because you're running out of memory. We're storing the file in memory if you're using the Promise based API. Try using streams instead:

download('unicorn.com/foo.zip').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('foo.zip'));

Hi,kevva: I use streams:download('unicorn.com/foo.zip').pipe(fs.createWriteStream('foo.zip')); but it is still error: image The size of this zip package is 1.2G。

Are you running this in the browser?

yuxiaoyan1205 commented 7 years ago

yes

kevva commented 7 years ago

I'm pretty sure that won't work. This package is intended for use in Node.js.
