UBB.threads PHP Forum Software Community Forums UBB.threads 7 Bug Reports Attachmnet file size over 39MB download error.

Downloading files previously correctly uploaded by File Manager can not be downloaded if the file size is over 39MB. I have not found if this issue fixed or not to upgrade to latest version.

We use direct link to the attachment but it is not good solution. If you click to download attachment than downloaded file has got size 0 bytes.

Since it's such a large file it could be that the download script is simply timing out before it's able to finish with the readfile() function. What you can try is edit your download.inc.php file. Around line 46, right after this line:

You can try adding this:

Well there is no download at all now. I did exactly you said.

Hmm, go ahead and remove that line for now. Might be easiest if you can open up a support ticket so I can debug directly. My guess is it's either exceeding the time or memory limit, but you might not be able to override the setting.

Rick, I do not know how to open up a support ticket. Please tell me what to do. Do u need access to the server the forum is running? Or is there some other meaning like to get admin rights to our forum panel???

I'll end up needing FTP info so I can try and add a bit of debug code to see what's actually going on when a large file is downloaded.

Done

Hello from Hong Kong,

What FTP info do u need? If I give you temp admin rights is it enought? Or do u really need upload FTP info to the server?

Roman

I'd need to have enough access to actually add some debug code to the download.inc.php file in your scripts directory.

ok, I will create the access for u, 5 minutes

well see your pm to login

any news?

Haven't had a chance to look just yet. Will check into it asap.

Any progeress? The issue still persists. Thanks in advance Rick. Roman

I have read PM, so I have test all. I tried to download "old" BIG size files and same bad luck, so I tried to upload some bigger file about 60MB to be sure that it is really not fixed. The result is same - Amy member can not still download bigger files :-(

Are they immediately giving the 0 byte size or does it download for awhile? I was able to download one of the larger +30MB .rar files on a couple different browsers with no problems.

it is 39MB+ if 38 or less than all works fine. Yes it gives me 0 bytes download. You can try here: link to the bigger size attachement with the above problem

if I point the file directly, than no problem so is there any copy and rename issue out there? just have a look. the file is 38.8MB large and can not be handled by the genuine download php script.

Well I have to fix it as follow:

at /script/download.inc.php

there is a line of:

} elseif (preg_match("#(gif|jpg|png)#i",$file_extension)) {

I changed to :

} elseif (preg_match("#(zip|gz|rar|gif|jpg|png)#i",$file_extension)) {

now it works fine - the only difference is the browser does not get info how large the file is in total but downloaded file is not corrupted anymore.

Thanks for help guys ;-)

Wow, you waited a long time.
It appears this may be a bug.
If you added the extensions to be allowed as attachments in the control panel it should have worked.
So it appears that file types outside of the cp settings for upload are ignored for downloads.
It seems that Rick never caught that you were downloading a file type outside of what is in the string you stated and it also appears it still is in 7.5.7
