Re: Browsing while downloading?

Found the problem... Just FYI, maybe can help in future. I am "under" a session and didn't forced a session_write_close() before i outputted the stream. Acording to php docs, the session file stays locked until the end of the script or a session_write_close() is issued. So, the other scripts were in fact waiting for the session file to be unlocked. Anmyway, ... interesting problem :) Adrian Zaharia M.
