Re: Downloading Large (100M+) Files

OK, I checked things out, and based on some private emails, and pointers, from Francisco M. Marzoa [fmmarzoa@gmx.net], I have now replaced: readfile($name); with:

    while(!feof($fp)) {
        $buf = fread($fp, 4096);
        echo $buf;
        $bytesSent+=strlen($buf);    /* We know how many bytes were sent to the user */
    }

I restarted apache (to free all the memory), and we will see how it goes overnight. -Robin BTW - output buffering is turned OFF. ob_get_level() returns 0, but both functions readfile and fpassthru seem to allocate memory (and never release) the size of the file.
