Whenever I download bigger files, my RAM fills up and the tab/download crashes. Is it possible to "fsync" downloads with Firefox (really Librewolf, but still) so that it goes directly into storage instead of RAM? Or to adjust the amount of memory used before it is dumped into storage?

Do you know if I'm able to authenticate logins with wget? As in, I'm actually downloading from a cloud service and I'm worried that it'll give me a 401 Unauthorized.

If you open the network tab on the devtools, you can usually copy a request as a curl command. I believe downloads also show up there and it will let you curl the file with all the cookies and headers that the file was originally requested with.
