I have an asp.net website that allows the user to download largish files - 30mb to about 60mb. Sometimes the download works fine but often it fails at some varying point before the download finishes with the message saying that the connection with the server was reset. Originally I was simply using Server.TransmitFile but after reading...
I have an asp.net page which sends content of a file to the client, so the browser shows the save as dialog to download the file.

Is there any reasonable method to allow users of a webapp to download large files? I'm looking for something other than the browser's built-in download dialog - the requirements are that the user initiates the download from the browser and then some other application takes over, downloads the file in background and doesn't exit when the ...

I have a PHP script that pushes the headers to allow a file to download. This script works fine when it called via a hyperlink or through the browser using link. This is how it looks like: <a href="download.php?file=test.mp3&properFilename=Testing File">Download</a> I want this to be a button (sbumit) instead, so I did this: <form ac...
I need to prevent the .NET WebBrowser control from showing any "Do you want to open or save this file?" and "Save As" dialogs. Instead, I want to display a message box telling users that file downloads are disabled for security reasons. I started with the FileDownload event of WebBrowser, but it does not allow cancellation. Then, I used...
Hello all! I have a problem, which I do not seem to be able to solve... I do a http download of a file, but the CRC32 of the file on the server and on the client do not match. Also, the file has different size, so obviously I must be doing something wrong... when I download via Firefox, the filesize is ok... so I guess it is somewhere i...
In Flash it is possible to read XML data as the XML File loads? i.e. reading the partially downloaded XML string as the rest downloads, so we can process it as quickly as possible.

I am being asked to make a "download" button that downloads the contents of a textarea on the same page as a file, with the browser's "Save As" dialog showing up. Copy/paste would do the job just fine, but it is a "requirement". Right now, I am just posting the contents of the textarea to the server, which echos them back with "Content-...

I have a web page (made with JSF) where some links allow the user to get a PDF file. When the user clicks on such a link, a waiting popup (it is a modal panel) is displayed (because the generation of the PDF can be long), and once the file is created, IE displays the "File download" popup that proposes "Open", "Save" and "Cancel" option...

We're replacing an "old" web application (the original CodeCentral was written over 10 years ago, now running at http://cc.embarcadero.com with over 12.7 million served) that uses a file based cache for serving downloads.
