Hi,

I’ve been using the fetch module to collect some files from the remote site and most of the time it works fine except when trying to fetch a little larger file (740MB). The error report is as follows:

Just to give a little more insight. I cut the size of my ‘eSC-store-XXXX.tgz’ file down to 396MB and exactly the same code works fine. It must be something with the size, then.

Best,

Jacek, could you figure this issue out? Seems I experience the same problem with a large file.

Hi Markus,

No, sorry. I haven’t tried to sort it out as I was able to reduce the size of the files I transfer. I guess, it’s something the ansible team should take care of.

Cheers,

Jacek
