forget upload, i cant download large files?
Upload is working fine but when I click a link to download files over a certain size I get nothing….
see http://www.ohword.com/reviews/50/stretch-armstron-and-bobbito-899fm-new-york-111193 for an example
yet using the same txp code for any files under 5 megs or so work fine
for instance http://www.ohword.com/reviews/63/rakim-unreleased-studio-set
This article shows an example of both successful and unsuccessful linking due to the apparent file size limit I’m seeing
In all these cases the files uploaded fine… For most I used FTP and then added them through the files screen in TXP
Thanks in advance for your Help!

Re: forget upload, i cant download large files?
The tcp-connection is closed before any data at all is sent. This looks like a php-process is dying/terminating unexpectedly. Not an entirely unusual thing, given that APache with mod_fastcgi is being used.
This is unfortunately a problem with your hosting/server setup. It may be that the php-crashes are only overshadowing another error-condition, but unless we can see that, there is no way to troubleshoot.
Just a side-note: Textpattern doesn’t load the complete file into memory, but reads and serves it in chunks, so TXP can usually be used without problems to serve bigger files.

Re: forget upload, i cant download large files?
Thanks for the explanation. I’ll talk to my host about it.
As a temporary work-around is there a way in txp tags to output the direct link to files attached to articles (without hard-coding each one in each article) instead of it appearing in the http://www.ohword.com/file_download/91 format?
I understand that the files would then have to be in a public folder (they already are) and I’ll lose the benefit of txp tracking file downloads.
