Hi everyone,

I created taxa barplots on v. 2018.4 and have been uploading the taxa\_barplot.qzv files onto the [view.qiime2.org](http://view.qiime2.org) website to visualize. When I try to download the visual graph by clicking "SVG (bars)" I receive a download icon at the bottom of my screen that reads "download failed - network error". This seems to be happening at random because downloading the file works at the 5th taxonomic level works, but fails at the 6th. I have tried closing the window and re-uploading the taxa\_barplots data file. Is this a bug in the QIIME network?

No, this is most likely a browser issue, related to the size of the SVG that you are attempting to download (level 6 will make a much larger file than level 5).

See [this thread](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/heatmap-svg-file-not-downloading/2490) or [this one](https://forum.qiime2.org/t/q2-taxa-barplot-color-schematic-help/3231).

Trying a different browser (e.g., firefox instead of chrome) should do the trick.

Let us know if that helps!
