Web Download Problem

I am running Microsoft XP Professional and Internet Explorer7 (connected
through Broadband)

I have tried a few times to download a program from the Microsoft website
(dotnetfx3setup .exe). After clicking on "Download", there is a long delay
while the download is supposed to be processing, but at the end I receive a
message that "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage". No Download
Dialogue window appears to enable me to save the file to my PC.

At the end of it all, the website window, from which I was trying to
download the file, returns with a message to thank me for downloading the
file, but, of course, no file has been downloaded on to my system.

I don't have any problem downloading executable files from other websites.

Can anyone throw some light on my problem.

I wrote a file download module for my website. The reason for the file download module is that my website downloads work on a credit based system. So I need to keep track of and limit daily downloads. It uses fpassthru() and some headers() to send a file to the requesting user. The get.php file that I wrote (the file download module if you will) works like a charm for .ZIP files and .TXT files. However, when .EXE files are downloaded...

Hello, I am posting this rather lengthy description here in hope of getting at least some insight into a problem that is really hurting my business, since I have come to the conclusion that my problem is at least partly PHP-related. Some time now I have been having transfer problems, i.e. my customers downloads of large binary (ZIP) files are often corrupt.

When a user clicks on a linkbutton on a page, i would like to render a printer-friendly version of the asp.net page and download it as an html attachment to the browser. The code below works great, with a few exceptions: 1) IE displays the FIle Download dialog box twice. (You have to click the Open button twice) 2) the encoding of the page is set to Western European (Windows) versus UTF-8. #1 above is just a pain. #2 above results in...

Hi, in my ASP.NET App, I have a list of files which the user can download on click (using Response.BinaryWrite()). the problem is, that once a download has started, the user can't navigate in the window because the response is sending the file and so no new requests can be made. what possibilities do i have to make the client able to browse other pages in my app while downloading a file? Thanks in advance.

Hi! I try to use custom download page (download.aspx) wich writes file (about 700Mb) to response. But I can download only one file from one IP at the same time. I think that this is IIS or ASP.NET limits but I'm not sure. How can I fix this or change limits? Thanks

Hello, I am trying to download a few files one after another from a remote server. Problem is that I don't know how to, or if I am able at all, set a time out for download. I don't want to time out whole script, just a part if file won't download in 2mins then skip to the next one. Previously, I had a Javascript implementation with AJAX, this time I thought of doing it in PHP since PHP has far better array functions, I don't have to do...

I have a function that downloads a file to the users computer and it works fine. The problem is that I then want the program to rename the file (file.move) to the same name plus todays date. The problem is that when you run the program it gets to the: Response.AddHeader("Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" + file.Name)

I’m going to show you how to do that using a perl script. What You Need Any recent...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
