Downloads crash the app into safe mode

[lakshay487]

Steps to reproduce

1. Hold the Download button
2. Select a provider
3. Wait till the app reboots into safe mode automatically

Expected behavior

The downloads should complete normally without any crashes.

Actual behavior

The download will start perfectly fine; upto 600 MBs or something would be downloaded and suddenly the app will reboot into safe mode. If you go back to the downloads tab, you'll see that the download has shifted back to around 300 MBs and wouldn't resume or play.

If you restart the app, it will attempt to download the same file again, effectively repeating the exact same cycle of trial and error. So you must cancel it manually.
