Found a workaround to another headache that just cropped up tonight. Apparently Opera 6.1 on Linux (unsure of other versions/platforms) has problems downloading files using the above methods if you have enabled compression via zlib.output_compression in php.ini. It seems that Opera sees that the actual transfer size is less than the size in the "Content-length" header for the download and decides that the transfer was incomplete or corrupted. It then either continuously retries the download or else leaves you with a corrupted file. Solution: Make sure your download script/section is off in its own directory. and add the following to your .htaccess file for that directory: php_flag zlib.output_compression off -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.fpassthru.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+26563 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+26563 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+26563
