Zip file download

Zip file only download partialy

[janbeeu]

I zipped a number of jpg files (62Mb zip file size) and uploaded them to the site. Then created an text link to that zip file on a page. On clicking the link, the open/download selection box opens. When I click download, it starts downloading but stops after 1,3Mb was downloaded. When I open the downloaded zip file locally, WinZip says it can't because it is corrupted. When I check the content of the zip file sitewide, all images are there. Locally the zip file opens normally.

What could be wrong here? (= slitting headache)

My guess is you tried downloading it before it had finished uploading; and now your browser has cached the incomplete file. Clear your cache and retry.

How are you transferring the file to the server? Is the local file corrupt?

[janbeeu]

The zip file was fully uploaded. Cleared the cache anyway. Same result.

Both the local and the remote zip file contain all the images. They all can be viewed.

I FlashFTP the zip file to the site. Also uploaded it through Dreamweaver. Same result.

Have you tried downloading it with different browsers?

[vincevincevince]

Have you opened the FTP connection and check the file size on the server?

[janbeeu]

Yes the file size both local and remote are the same.

Now, this is funny. Whereas dowloading the zip file from the site in IE7 gives me a headache, it works perfectly well in FF.

Still, I need site visitors be able to download it in IE as, I'm sorry to say, 80% of my site visitors use that browser.

Sounds like a problem on your end. Try having some other people download the file from other PCs.
