7 Ways to Fix Opera One When the Download Gets Stuck at 100%

Opera One is a browser with plenty of unique features, but it’s not immune from technical hiccups. One issue some Opera One users have needed to fix is downloading and getting stuck at the 100 percent mark.

Opera One doesn’t complete its downloads when it gets stuck at 100 percent. As a result, users can’t download software and other files with Opera.

One workaround might be to switch to a different browser, such as Edge. However, many Opera One users will doubtlessly be reluctant to ditch their favorite browser because of a download issue.

Are your downloads also get stuck at 100 percent in Opera One? If they are, you can fix stuck downloads in Opera with the troubleshooting tips below.

Why is my Opera One not downloading?

Opera One isn’t the only browser that downloads can get stuck at 100 percent. The same thing can happen in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other browsers.

Sometimes browsers can get stuck downloading because of missing content-length headings. Such an issue is usually a server-side one users cannot resolve.

However, a more common cause is third-party antivirus utilities and firewalls. An antivirus tool’s scanning or a firewall might block your Opera One downloads.

Or there could be another third-party program or even browser extension conflicting with Opera One’s download process. Disabling unneeded background programs might be a possible solution.

Why is my download getting stuck?

Your downloads could be getting stuck for any of those possible reasons. Most likely because of certain conflicting third-party programs and extensions interfering with the Opera One download process.

However, there could also be an issue with your browser’s installation. Or your browser may be a very outdated version. At any rate, these resolutions will address such potential causes for stuck downloads.

What can I do if my download gets stuck at 100% in Opera One?

5. Repeat the previous two steps for all superfluous startup software.
6. Click Task Manager’s Processes tab.
7. Select unneeded third-party background programs and apps there, and click End task to close them.
   
8. Then try downloading it in Opera One again.
