Downloading large movie files fails.

Telnoi · July 4th, 2005, 04:54 AM

I've setup a demo reel category on my site. The upload of large movie files seems to work fine.

I tested downloading a movie (17 mb), but it only downloads about 2 mb after saying the download is complete.

-The forum is set to use directory driven downloads, not database.
-MAx post size etc has been increased to around 160 mb.
-Large forum downloads work normally.

Have you tested with any other large files? My guess would be that either the file you uploaded is corrupted, or it's some type of server issue.

Tested with both mov and avi. Both the same result. Through the forum these files download normally, through vbadvanced gallery they do not.
They are fully uploaded to the server and play fine on the server itself, so it's not a corrupt file.

I have full access to the server...what php.ini or mysql config setting might be causing these issues?

Could it be a timeout issue?

Here's the site btw

I'm not entirely sure what the problem would be then. If you'd like to submit a support ticket though I'll be glad to take a look.

Before I do that, does it work on your demo gallery?
It doesn't allow file uploads above 2 mb and requires administration so I cant test it out immediatly.

Bump.

I'd appreciate it if you test it on your test gallery, since I am not willing to pay a support ticket for a possible gallery bug (almost certain since Vbulletin succeeds in downloads over 100 mb, and the gallery doesn't even manage 5 mb).

Another bug I've encountered is a dead link sent along with an email stating that there is a reply to an image.

Support tickets have no cost.

Large downloads work fine on my Gallery, so it's almost certainly just an issue with something on your server.

The bad link in the e-mail problem I've seen before. Try downloading the Gallery package again and upload the new PHP files over your current ones. Then, make sure all your Gallery templates are reverted.
