Nope, I'm trying to see if the download is completed or not... if the feof == true happens or if meantime the connection is lost (connection_status() ). I am using sleep(1)... because i think that if i write everything in one shot, it gets sent to the user (no matter his bandwidth) and the scripts ends instantly, this making impossible to track if the user has actually received the entire file. But it seems (at least in my implementation), that the "download file" dialog doesn't pop-up until the script ends. It just waits for the script, and at the same time gets the file; when the script ends, the pop-up appears and if you choose to save the file, it is saved instantly (because it was already downloaded). So it downloads the file in the background.. while the page is loading...

Hello, I need to make somehow, some system, to track whether downloads are completed or failed. I tried to make this via php. Tried to limit the connection speed for smaller downloads (to have the time to detect a cancel) (+ ignore_user_abort(true)) in a while where i also checked the connection_status. /* dl headers */ ignore_user_abort(true); while(feof($f)) { echo fread($f,5*1024); /* 5 kb/s */ flush(); sleep(1); if (connection_status()!=0) exit(); } /* track after the download */ Well it doesn't work because the browsers are waiting for script execution to end before popping-up the download dialog. So the users waits like 20-30 seconds, then the download dialog pops, and instantly saves the file. So, probably the only solution is something to intermediate the download. If you know some Java/../.. component which can do this (no matter free or payed) would be nice. Or maybe, somebody knows a way to do this from php. Thank you, Aris.
