Reported this 4 years ago.... and is still an issue.

Today I tried to copy a 4.6 GB iso file onto a pendrive, after 15 minutes of file transfer it failed miserably raising an error that could have been predicted earlier

Can someone still reproduce this on Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04? If so then it might be worth filing an upstream bug here: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/nautilus/issues
