Can't Download Files in Safari

I get the following error message: Safari could not download the file because the disk doesn't have enough free space. My 2019 MBP with Big Sur has 92% of the disk free as per iStatistica and Disk Utility. Any one with a fix? Thanks in advance.

Safari downloads ”Safari could not download the file because the disk doesnt have enough space” message keeps showing but i have 186.15 available of 250.69 GB of storage. The downloads folder is selected in download preferences (i tried other folders too) as thats the popular solution but it doesnt work, i also deleted some heavy files and emptied the trash and of course didnt work as disk space is not the problem
