Large Downloads

Jerry Camel

I know I've seen postings on this, but I can't find them anymore...

I was able to fix the issue of large uploads by adding <httpRuntime
maxRequestLength="1048576" /> to the web.config file. I thought that would
also allow for large downloads. Apparently not. I've seen postings about
large downloads that mention disabling page buffering (or something like
that) - I added "Response.BufferOutput = False" to my code, but that didn't
fix it.

Someone please tell me how to allow large file downloads from my page.
Please...?

What errors are you getting?

Have you tried increasing the execution timeout?

<httpRuntime executionTimeout="600"

Actually, I worked around this by streaming the file in blocks. For the
most part it works just fine. Thanks for the response, though.
