No, no error is given. The file download appears to complete but when you check it the file size is less than the original and of course will not unzip/open. The amount of data transfered (reported as file size) varies from person to person so I would guess it is a timeout issue and not a max file size issue. I'm only guessing, though.


I have the following values set in php.ini:

max_execution_time = 240

max_input_time = 240

memory limit = 40M

post_max_size = 50M

upload_max_filesize = 35M

mysql.trace_timeout = 60


Is there anything else I need to do to allow larger transfers? These pdfs are so large because they contain a lot of pages of drawings. Sometimes more than 70 pages of 24"x36" architectural drawings in a single pdf. I could break them up into individual pages, but it is too tediuos to upload 70 pdf files.

I could upload them, but the server is local to me (on my lan). I haven't tried to upload off-site, only downloading which didn't work.

Will do. Do you you know if I have to restart apache to make this work?

I tried downloading 3 files on my Documents page from home tonight. The curious thing is that even though the 3 files varied in file size the download stopped on each one at 5.4MB. The actual number of bytes varied slightly.

This was after changing max_execution_time to 600, but the download stopped way before 10 minutes. It's got to be something else that causes it to stop.

I also asked someone else to download from their office and they only got 4.26MB downloaded before it stopped.

I wondered the same thing. I had it previously set to 40m when I reported the errors above. I just reset it to -1 (no limit) and I will try a download this weekend from home.
