Give more information about the "Not enough space storage" message.

Having more information like:

• Needed space,
• Available space,
• Destination directory

would be useful.

I just downloaded Kiwix this morning (Ver. 2.3.1) Flatpak. I changed the save directory to an external drive (Newly reformatted and mounted 3.0TB Ext4) and received the error: "not enough storage space available."

To add more information...the above error occurred after I attempted to download the Wiki file @ 95 GB. I just tried to download the file 'Urban Prepper' @ 368 MB to the same drive without changing any settings and received the same error.

The file I originally attempted to download required 95 GB. I have multiple terabytes available. The particular drive it was downloading to was a 3TB HD. Destination directory listed within the app is "/run/user/1000/doc/eb8b8f7d/[drive name]"

So, to add to this...The first problem I figured out was if using an external drive, specifically a USB one, you need to reformat it from FAT32, since anything over 4GB will just auto fail(the weird javascript error mentioned in 916 from Kiwix gave nothing useful in figuring that out). However even after reformatting, if I change the save directory to the USB external, it still fails with a size error, despite definitely having plenty of space. This is only a problem for the 3 Wikipedia files specifically, other files, no matter their size, seem to work fine for me. As a workaround, I downloaded the files to my C drive, then copied them over to my external USB drive and adjusted the monitor/download settings on Kiwix to reflect that change.

Hello is this issue still prevalent, I looked at the code and saw it's still giving the same error? Would it be ok for me to tackle this issue?

@franklinthai Feel free to propose a PR yes.
But be careful @veloman-yunkan is doing a lot of refactoring on download code (#1038)
