    Default Re: Download corrupt

    Alright, this is what I have learned from my server:

    As I am on a shared server, Apache is set to time out at after a certain time. I find this a bit upsetting as we have very few files larger than 1 MB. Even if someone buys say five books at a time that are 1 MB/book, you are only looking at a 5 MB download. Say a few other people are buying and downloading at the same time, this still shouldn't be that much of an issue. I never exceed my daily limit. We have decent sales, but nothing that should overtax the server or go past our limit (5000 GB/mo). It looks as if I will need a new host if this cannot be resolved. (sigh) I am not going to pay $89/month for a virtual private server when the file sizes are so small. We do not have enough product to warrant a private server.

    Breathe, Marci. Breathe.

    I completely agree.
    Downloading 1MB files shouldn't cause the need for a VPS.
    However, a host who knows Zen Cart could be a much better place to spend your money, and not have to break the bank on a VPS.

    Default Re: Download corrupt

    After telling them the size of the files, they are saying that this is only with large files or slow download speed and it is probably browser or application related. How do you fix that? I zip them. Shouldn't they be safe from browsers and applications. I can't control those?

    Has anyone else had issues with this and why can people download files from websites with direct links with no problem yet they have a problem with this?

    I hope to have hair on my head still after all of this.

    Default Re: Download corrupt

    Here is my server info:

    Server Host: serv01.siteground12.com (67.15.245.3) Database Host: localhost (127.0.0.1)
    Server OS: Linux 2.6.19.2-grsec-sg4 Database: MySQL 4.1.22-standard-log
    Server Date: 09/29/2007 02:25:31 Database Date: 09/29/2007 02:25:31

    Server Up Time: 02:25:31 up 35 days, 12:19, 1 user, load average: 4.62, 3.40, 4.44

    The corruption happens even w/DSL & cable.

    My execution time was set to 60, which could be the problem. I have increased it to 480. Eight minutes should be enough, right?

    And you're saying that all that HTML is being added to the end of the downloaded files?

    Mind boggling, isn't it?

    I don't know about all downloaded files, but certainly this "corrupted" one. The one I downloaded, no. Let me zip and see, but I still don't think zipping the PDF should make the difference.

    How do I test downloads if I don't have any problems with them?

    I'll see if my friend can do it who had the problem, but she is only one.

    Thanks!
