Download files get cut off

[clp698]

I want to make MP3 files available. They are anywhere from 8M - 16 M. I realize that the php.ini file limits downloads to 8M and to overcome this I will need a dedicated server. To be sure, I have set up a test system on my own computer. I have edited the php.ini file changing the max download to 20M. Seen below are all the settings.

 

Downloads work, but every file is cut off at 1.9 Megs. Anyone know why?

If you are not using download by redirect the php setting memory_limit is what causes the problem due to the readfile() function in download.php, you need to change it like below.

$chunksize = 32 * 1024;
$buffer = '';
$handle = fopen(DIR_FS_DOWNLOAD . $downloads['orders_products_filename'], 'rb');
if ($handle === false) { echo 'ERROR...'; die; }
while (!feof($handle)) {
 $buffer = fread($handle, $chunksize);
 echo $buffer;
}
fclose($handle);

Also keep in mind that Apache can be configured to limit download/upload sizes. I don't know about IIS.

Thanks for your input. I assume that I replace the above code with the stock code at the end of the download.php file.

 

Also, would you advise using the download controller over the built in download feature?

I made the changes to the download.php (installed on my local machine) as you indicated and it worked! Then I uploaded the file to my estore on my remote server (secure) and tried to download. The system hung for a long time and finally timed out (page not found). Then I created an unsecure store and uploaded the modified download.php file and tried the download and it worked!

 

I was told that the php.ini file would need to be modified to allow for lengthy downloads. My hosting company won't let me modify that file and the only way I could customize it is by moving to a dedicated server, which is expensive. So at this point, I don't know if the problem is with the php.ini file or the secure server arrangement.

Nothing needs to change in php.ini.
