Bypass download file size limit?

[AtA]

Okay, I've searched, and not found anything. I'm sure it's on here somewhere, but I'm kind of on a time limit. I'm helping out a friend with their website. I'm using php to initiate download prompts through a flash file. The code is fine, and everything works perfectly. Only problem is that their band is a sort of an experimental noise group, with tracks ranging between 20 and 40 minutes long. Thus, the file sizes for the mp3s are large. Any over 15mb will just open a blank screen, as opposed to the download prompt. This could be worked around by using zip files, I know, but I was wondering if anyone knew of any way to add a size limit bypass to the php script.

 

This is the code as written :

 

<?php
if(!isset($_GET['file']) || count($_GET)!==1) exit;
$GET_NAME=$_GET['file'];
if(
    !preg_match('/^[a-zA-Z0-9_\-]+\.[a-z0-9]{3}$/',$GET_NAME) ||
    preg_match('/(\.php|index)/',$GET_NAME)
) exit;
if(!file_exists("./files/".$GET_NAME)) die("File not found");
$CONTENT=file_get_contents("./files/".$GET_NAME);
$CONTENT_LEN=strlen($CONTENT);
if(!$CONTENT_LEN) exit;

header("content-type: octet/stream");
header("content-disposition: attachment; filename={$GET_NAME}");
header("content-length: {$CONTENT_LEN}");
header("Cache-Control: max-age=0");

set_time_limit(60*60*5);

echo $CONTENT;
?> 

 

Any way of getting around the size limit without using zip files or decreasing the quality of the mp3s would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, all.

 

Cheers.

i dont know what is going on but is error reporting on in your php.ini the time limit could be reaching before it sends out the file download while it is reading the file.  i don't think there is a problem with a download limit.
