Apache and Download Accelerator

Problems with .zip files. Why?

[silverbytes]

Hello

I have a link to a zip file. When you click the file starts download. Cool.

However "Download Accelerator" users can't if they are using the accelerated mode.

The file is only 60kb. I use Download accelerator myself and I can download zip files in other sites but not in mine, and other users can't either...

So I guess the difference is in my own server permisions or something...

If you set regular mode is ok, but accelerated option cant (marks "unknown" in the list).

Any help please? Is there something I can do?

I don't think anyone knows here what the accelerated mode does in that program, so it would be better if you could post the corresponding lines from the (error and access) logs of your website, so we can help you better. Since the http specification does not mention accelerated modes or anything like that, likely the request is more or less the same as an ordinary one, I expect the difference to be very small (in general), but maybe enough to put the Apache on a wrong track.

And check the server headers [webmasterworld.com] to make sure the content-type header is correctly reporting the MIME-type for a zip file. Off the top of my head, I don't know what the correct MIME-type is, but check a zip file on your own site against one on a working site.
