Software => HFS ~ HTTP File Server => Topic started by: Phantium on November 27, 2006, 01:35:43 AM

Whenever someone tries to download an .ISO they get an error:
Unknown Network Error.
-
try downloading the file locally, and see if there is any problem.
and ask someone else to download, to test.
-
Someone else did test, tried naming it .zip... still not working
The file is over 4gb, it's a bug with file size. I have had this before.
I hope you can fix this.
-
why you say it is a bug of HFS ?
most downloader doesn't support 4GB+ files, while HFS does!
what are you using as downloader?
-
Free download manager, I've downloaded 6gb files with it before.
-
HFS was tested with several downloaders for over4GB files
this is the list
- Reget Deluxe 4.1
- MetaProducts Download Express 1.7
- Getright
- Firefox 2.0
you can make other tests
1. downloading locally
2. using another downloader (from the list)
3. enabling log menu -> log what -> disconnections (and see what gets logged on disconnection)
-
4. serving the file with another web server
-
Okay cool, whenever the program I download with identifies as Free Download Manager 2.x it won't download from HFS, but when I set it to Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 it works..
So it still is a bug with HFS, because it's apparently not accepting Free Download Manager 2.x as the identifier to the server program.
-
it is an interesting information, but it is not enough.
the only place i can see in HFS code where the FDM identifier is used is serving pages for its browser, so i have no chance in fixing this supposed bug, since you say it is related to huge file downloading.
i told you several ways you can collect information about it.
-
A reasonably-quick, practical solution is to use WinRar to split up the big iso file into a number of smaller chunks. WinRar can do this automatically, and handle reconstruction at the user end.
This doesn't mean, of course, that I don't think any problems with transferring large files shouldn't be investigated.
-
you didn't read, herbi, his last reply: with a quick painless change in the downloader configuration, the problem disappears. ;)

ummm
Error #8007001D(The System cannot write to the specified device.) in File.WriteData
Error #8007001D(The System cannot write to the specified device.) in WriteData
Error #8007001D(The System cannot write to the specified device.) in CloseFile
-
who is printing that?
-
Reget Deluxe 4.2.
-
Tested again with other programs, a lot of other download programs. Download Accelerator Plus works (takes a long long time till it downloads), others simply don't.
It is definitely an issue with HFS.
-
it was not needed to test ALL other downloaders, i said "another downloader", anyway it is an interesting information to have tested all others.
but more important than testing all others was to make other tests i told. i listed 4 tests, and you made only test#2.
test#4 is the one that best will tell us if it is really an HFS issue.
test#3 is the one that may give us some information about fixing.
test#1 is less important.
i'm sorry to ask you all such things, but the only way i can fix the bug is to reproduce it myself, or to know enough about it, and at the moment either conditions don't apply.
