Smart File Download is timing out my large file downloads

[drod70]

I just noticed this. I have a 90 meg video file I am using and it times out after about 18 megs down everytime. I assume this is because it is going through a php file, no? When I fire off a direct download to the file it finishes up with no problem at all.

Can someone try this on their machine and see if this is a problem for everyone.

I have set all of my php settings extremely high to make sure it wasn't those and I get the same result.

Please add following php code to set maximum execution time in seconds. Zero means no limit.

// Make sure program execution doesn't time out
set_time_limit(0);

You can also download fixed script.

Thank you for posting!

It must be on my end. I added it in the same spot you added it in the newest release and got the same result. I timed the download and found out that the server stops sending data at exactly 300 seconds into the download. No matter how much I have downloaded it just stops sending. If I direct link to the file without the download.php script it downloads just as it should.

I checked all through my php.ini file as well as my apache config file and there are no references to any 300 second or 5 minute settings. I'm on a friends server and am basically on my own with these settings.

I just don't get it. 

But thanks for the update, zubrag.

Please check also following option in php ini:    max_execution_time

Also consider this: Your webserver can have other timeouts. E.g. Apache has Timeout directive, IIS has CGI timeout function, both default to 300 seconds. See the webserver documentation for meaning of it.
