Redirecting to a large binary file

Paul L

Hi, what's the correct way to redirect to a large binary file? I have a
simple database that holds a list of names and URLs. The URLs are of large
mp3s (around 80-100mb). I take the name as a query string parameter, find
it in the db and redirect to the URL using Response.Redirect(url, true).
However people are reporting that the server keeps resetting the response.

I assume this is because of some page timeout or I'm not setting the headers
correctly, but I'm struggling to find useful information on this subject.

Any clues?

Regards,

Paul L

Is there a specific error they are receiving? Can you redirect to small
files? Does this happen consistently or intermittently?

The specific error message is in a pop-up error dialog with IE, and is:
"Connection with the server has been reset". I can redirect to small files,
and it happens every time by the looks of it.

If I attempt to just download using the raw link, and paste it into the
browser's address box it downloads fine. So it must be to do with some
time-out issue. I assume if a page takes a certain amount of time to
download the server or client will just give up and cut the connection?
