Getting j.i.IOException: Premature close in Gatling

Question

I have a few GET endpoints related to downloading files from the server. And when we try to simulate the download for smaller size it works perfectly fine ex : 500MB but for 1GB above files it starts the download in gatling and after some time it stopped with error j.i.IOException: Premature also I have verified that it is not something related to the application as it works perfectly fine in Loadrunner.

Observation: file download would take more than 1 minute. I was looking into the Gatling Config file and updated following but non of them helped to resolve the issue shutdownTimeout,connectTimeout,handshakeTimeout,pooledConnectionIdleTimeout

The timeout you have to increase is the requestTimeout.

I have already updated it to : requestTimeout = 60000000 and still not working – Lusitha May 18 '22 at 12:21
it got resolved once I removed the logback-test.xml file – Lusitha May 18 '22 at 15:41
@Lusitha Wondering how you knew to remove the logback-test.xml file and why that fixed it. Was it luck or do you know the reasoning? – Amber Aug 10 '23 at 19:46
