 Posted: Mon 03 Dec '12 21:45 Post subject: Downloads Stop at 124mb |
 |
|
I'm still trying to find an actual solution to this issue
http://www.apachelounge.com/viewtopic.php?p=23308
Nobody responds over there because the topic was marked as "Solved"
I'd like to figure out why, in Apache 2.4, the downloads stop at exactly 124mb 90% of the time.
I haven't found any file that has any settings reading "124mb" so I'm not sure how I can fix this. |

Have you done some time measurements. Could it be that you are hitting the 60 second or the 300 second limit?
Or is the behavior identical independent of the actual time? |

This is a way late reply.
I was seeing this problem myself recently but I was seeing 500MB+ files stop at ~80MB. I added EnableSendfile On to my .htaccess file in the directory these files were stored in and they've downloaded complete since.
Note, that EnableSendfile On used to be the default but was changed to Off in Apache 2.3.9. I think that was a wise change, as really only static files benefit from EnableSendfile, the change is just at a cost to large static files it seems.
I'm sure the final size of what downloads varies machine to machine since with EnableSendfile Off, buffers have to be allocated and when there's not enough available unreserved RAM for allocating new buffers large enough to hold the entire file, that's all you get. |

.htaccess change seemed to do the trick. I'll post back if a file gets stopped again  |

Interesting, some people told me they had the same problem when downloading files from my webserver.
I didn't have these problems my self but they reported the same problem, stopping at 124MB.
What did you do to fix it exactly?
You only added EnableSendfile On to the htaccess file?
I've tried this and it slowed down my download speed for those files...
they only do 0.5Mb/s instead of the max of my connection at home which is 2.9Mb/s |

Just downloaded a file and it stopped at 124mb
So... I guess that didn't fix the problem
Back to the drawing board. |
