gsutil download of takeout bucket to local PC stalls

Hi everyone. New to the forum. Can not find a specific answer to my problem. I have gone through the similar posts, but they do not seem to address my problem.

Currently using the following command in Google Cloud SDK Shell to try to download a takeout copy of my Google Drive folders.

gsutil -m cp -r gs://takeout-export-[bucket name details/folder details] E:\CMGGLBUP

The copying starts and 6/35 zip files appear on my E: drive, but the remaining files, which are in two separate directories/folders, each with many subfolders, are .gstmp files; so only 1.8mb of 59.1gb is copied. Then the SDK Shell show 0% Done, but nothing else happens. I have left it overnight hoping that it is a time issue, but same result.

Any assistance would be appreciated. Is there something I have missed in the syntax?

Does anyone have any advice on what I may be doing wrong.

Many thanks. Jason

Have you tried rsync instead of copy?

I created a post similar to this one but with more info :

Unable to download the whole content of a Google Cloud Bucket from Google Workspace Takeout

I will keep any progress achieved into that post.
