I've recently installed this script and have had no problems with Windows, Linux and most Mac downloads. However I've just discovered that Macs running the new Mountain Lion 10.8.x Mac OS X are getting time-outs. The script stalls if the ZIP file is more than about 52Mb (not sure of the exact cut-off). My Mac running Snow Leopard (10.6. works fine as do other people's Mac if they're not on Mountain Lion. Does anyone have any (a) ideas why? and (B) solutions? I'm not averse to replacing the whole script but this is the only one I've found that actually works with large ZIP files at all. The website I'm running the script on is a Windows server hosted by FastHosts. The script... http://www.richnetapps.com/php-download-script-with-resume-option/

Adam, Well thanks to your excellent suggestions we've moved forward somewhat. Now I get 132Mb of my 156Mb download - but still not all of it! The modified code is below. Any other ideas? <?php ini_set('max_execution_time', 1200); ini_set('memory_limit','256M'); set_time_limit(1200); $path = "../_downloads/"; // change the path to fit your websites document structure $fullPath = $path.$_GET['file']; if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) { $fsize = filesize($fullPath); $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath); $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]); switch ($ext) { case "zip": header("Content-type: application/zip"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download break; default; header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); } header("Content-length: $fsize"); header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly stream_set_timeout($fd, 1200); ob_clean(); flush(); while(!feof($fd)) { $buffer = fgets($fd,1024); echo $buffer; } } $info = stream_get_meta_data($fd); fclose ($fd); if ($info['timed_out']) { echo 'Connection timed out!'; } else { echo 'Done'; } exit; // example: place this kind of link into the document where the file download is offered: // <a href="download.php?file=some_file.pdf">Download here</a> ?>

To avoid being a lazy arse I looked it up on Google! I've added the following lines to the beginning of the script... ini_set('max_execution_time', 1200); ini_set('memory_limit','1024M'); And am re-testing.

How do I do that? It's worth a try!

I'm a newbie to PHP but I want to amend a website I run for a musician friend of mine so that when people purchase his albums (sold as ZIP files) they don't see the link to the actual file, but PHP generates a randomly named copy, then downloads it for them and then deletes the copy when complete. All works well except the download. With the large files the download goes to about 1/2 way through and then just stalls until it aborts. Here's the code... <?php $path = "../_downloads/"; // change the path to fit your websites document structure $fullPath = $path.$_GET['file']; if ($fd = fopen ($fullPath, "r")) { $fsize = filesize($fullPath); $path_parts = pathinfo($fullPath); $ext = strtolower($path_parts["extension"]); switch ($ext) { case "zip": header("Content-type: application/zip"); // add here more headers for diff. extensions header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); // use 'attachment' to force a download break; default; header("Content-type: application/octet-stream"); header("Content-Disposition: filename=\"".$path_parts["basename"]."\""); } header("Content-length: $fsize"); header("Cache-control: private"); //use this to open files directly stream_set_timeout($fd, 600); while(!feof($fd)) { $buffer = fgets($fd,8192); echo $buffer; } } $info = stream_get_meta_data($fd); fclose ($fd); if ($info['timed_out']) { echo 'Connection timed out!'; } else { echo 'Done'; } exit; // example: place this kind of link into the document where the file download is offered: // <a href="download.php?file=some_file.pdf">Download here</a> ?> The link to run it is below... www.godfreyb.com/_scripts/download.php?file=cd12_vg.zip I've tried the @readfile(); function and this does the same thing, get to about 60.5 Mb and stalls. I even tried passthru('cat ' . $fullPath); to send the file and that doesn't send anything at all. The site is hosted by FastHosts on a Windows 2008 server with PHP5 installed. Directly linking to the ZIP file results in a perfect download everytime. Can anyone suggest a way to get this working? It's driving me nuts!
