Description

Tried to download QGIS on two different machines in both the new 3.0 version and the stable version. On each occasion the programme worked and functioned but the Sample Data Files (all three North Dakota, South Carolina and Alaska). Process was repeated around four times for each machine using the using Windows 10 solutions of turning off the AV, turning off DropBox, etc. On no occasion did the download get more than half way through the Sample Data Files before coming up with a failure message.
Tried the website, documentation and various forums both on and off the QGIS site but with no idea of what causes this.

Will try and replicate if requested

Tried to install QGIS on a third machine this time a Windows 10 tower with an AMD shipset but with wired internet connection and fast download speeds.
Failed again.
Here is the screenshot of the result

I am just now installing 3.4.3 and it is still a problem. All three datasets wouldn't play nice, so installing without. Has been like this for several versions of 3, if not all. Cheers.
