You need to more concisely describe your problem. "Won't download" is pretty broad.

That explains all you need to know

Here is a download script that has been re-created by myself based on a script I was given...

 

<?

This function takes a path to a file to output ($file), 
the filename that the browser will see ($name) and 
the MIME type of the file ($mime_type, optional).

*/

$size = filesize($file);
$name = rawurldecode($name);

}

/* output the file itself */
$chunksize = 1*(1024*1024); //you may want to change this
$bytes_send = 0;
if ($file = fopen($file, 'r'))

if(isset($_SERVER['HTTP_RANGE']))
fseek($file, $range);

while(!feof($file) &&

}
fclose($file);

}

$file_path=$_GET['file'];

It may be of use to you...I know it works for me.

 

Thanks, Paul.
