Downloaded rar file has very small size

When downloading a file using file-saver package the file is getting downloaded correctly with size 600kb
with this code :
saveAs(fileUrl, fileName);

But when I'm using ngx-filesaver the file dowloaded is 65kb and the unrar process is giving an errror
this._FileSaverService.save(fileUrl, fileName);

Any idea what I might be doing wrong? or is it some bug?

The file I'm using is a rar file which is being served by a nginx server upon calling the fileUrl.

Can you provide the download address of rar?

Due to the limitation of cors, I can't reproduce it according to your URL.

But this file can be downloaded normally in my environment:

Are there any details about this errror?

It seems the issue as you pointed out might be CORS related as I'm directly serving the file from nginx which has a default policy of lax. I'm going to create a backend server for handling such requests and send the data as BLOB to eliminate this problem completely.

Thanks a lot for your prompt replies, much appreciated.
