Downloading Entire Gmail account to Latest Thunderbird 78.3.1 on a PC

After months of DIY a friend finally helped me start my Gmail transfer to my hard drive. However the process is now stuck at a quarter of completion.

I have been using the pop3 and downloading for a few days and now it is stuck.

How can I please obtain a complete download?

Want to keep all of my Gmails with links and attachments on a pc while deleting some on the Gmail account.

I later discovered: How to Increase Your Mailbox Limit in Thunderbird By Adam White https://www.techwalla.com/articles/how-to-increase-your-mailbox-limit-in-thunderbird

This article helped me place a location on my desktop to begin downloading more of my Gmails. However, the original batch that took a few days to download is now gone.

Please Help,
