Download a .zip larger than 20 GB from OneDrive

I am trying to download a 157gb .zip file from OneDrive (I have tried both curl and wget) to a machine on which I am ssh connected. I usually run screen, launch the download and then detach and disconnect. I have noticed that each time the download ends without error with an output of exactly 20GB, and this seems to be a limitation of OneDrive. In fact, as you can read in this discussion:

Is there any way around this problem?

I confirm the 20GB limiitations which I could clearly see using the IDM (Internet Download Manager) application. The only quick solution solution I could find was to make enough space on a local drive and then use the Onedrive software on my windows PC to sync all data (around 100 GB). The sync as such was then surprisingly fast.

As first thing check if wget do indeed see file of size 157GB under given URL, by doing

wget --spider URLTOFILE

you would get basic information about file withoud download it, filesize will be described as Length:, then check if it does support Partial gimmick as follows

wget --server-response --spider URLTOFILE

and then check if output contain Accept-Ranges: bytes, if yes then it might be possible to exploit Partial gimmick to get whole file, start following command

wget -c -O file.zip URLTOFILE

and then after it do get first 20GB then run it again and observe if it does download further part of your file.
