Small mp3 or wav download = easy. Large file = problem

[KingElvis]

Why is the user unable to download large .mp3 or .wav files with this code? It works perfectly well with small files.

(This is for you simonchristies... you helped me before)


<%
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strWav = "/media/"&Request.Form("code1")&".mp3"
strFilename = server.MapPath(strWav)

if len(request.form("code1")) <7 Then
response.write "Please enter the correct number of digits."

else
If filesys.FileExists(strFilename) Then
strFilename = server.MapPath(strWav)

Response.Buffer = True
Response.Clear

Set s = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
s.Open
s.Type = 1

Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFile(strFilename)
intFilelength = f.size

s.LoadFromFile(strFilename)

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & f.name
Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", intFilelength
Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

Response.BinaryWrite s.Read
Response.Flush

s.Close
Set s = Nothing

Else
response.write "Sorry, your file is not yet prepared."
End If
End If
%>

i found some documentation on this online when i was messing with my binary stream issues, and you need to chop it up into smaller blocks to avoid a timeout/fubar...

here's a little documentation, not the exact one i was looking at but it might get you started ...

i'll keep looking for the other page

This isn't by some chance a class project, is it? Oddly enough another user posted almost exactly the same code for the same problem, so I was just curious: thread333-833090 by dermie

lol tarwn i think you're right, and the source looks nearly identical ( not to mention specifically MP3's )
