Is there away to get this fixed sence thats what im useing the shop for the most is for all my media files.

Thanks for any help on this

How big is the AVI file? I've got a feeling it's the PHP script timing out (most hosts have PHP set up so a script can only run for less than 60 seconds). Try adding

Code: [Select]

set_time_limit(0); to the top of the download item script (underneath the <?php), and see if it helps.
Note that I'd suggest to use the v2 script, as the first one doesn't handle large files well.

other downloader v2 from someone else

That was also from me

Ok thanks i'll try it out to see if it will work... also the avi files are way more then 100Mb a pice

Ok that did not work.. Here is a screen shot of the file getting saved it says 26 bytes when in fact it sould be 1.36Gigs

Can you please download the 26-byte file, and tell me what it saved (Open it with Notepad).

[isht4r]

saved it open it up with editpad and theres nothing there.. same with notepad too..

Hmm... I wouldn't really suggest this items for very very large files (like you have). Maybe you could instead use the 'Email an Admin' item, so that when they use the item, you'd get an email. Then, you could email them a link to the file (upload it into a hidden folder or something).

PHP isn't really good at handling very large files, so I'm not sure what else you could do.
