Limiting speed using php, file size issue

[Exoon]

Hi,

 

I found this script on the internet and it works fine, however it gives an unknown file size. Is there anyway around it?

 

<?php
// local file that should be send to the client
$local_file = 'downloads/DS/0034 - Zoo Keeper (U).rar';
// filename that the user gets as default
$download_file = '0034 - Zoo Keeper (U).rar';
$download_file = ereg_replace(' ', '', $download_file); 

// set the download rate limit (=> 20,5 kb/s)
$download_rate = 20.5; 
if(file_exists($local_file) && is_file($local_file)) {
    // send headers
    header('Cache-control: private');
    header('Content-Type: application/octet-stream'); 
    header('Content-Length: '.filesize($local_file));
    header('Content-Disposition: filename='.$download_file);

    // flush content
    flush();    
    // open file stream
    $file = fopen($local_file, "r");    
    while(!feof($file)) {

        // send the current file part to the browser
        print fread($file, round($download_rate * 1024));    

        // flush the content to the browser
        flush();

        // sleep one second
        sleep(1);    
    }    

    // close file stream
    fclose($file);}
else {
    die('Error: The file '.$local_file.' does not exist!');
}
?>

try

change

header('Content-Length: '.filesize($local_file));

to

header('Content-Length: '.filesize(dirname.(__FILE__)."/".$local_file));
