I can't get the files to download properly. It only downloads 0.5KB even though the files are 50 MB or so. See the following image:



The site is located at:

www.lcusandiego.com/index.php/students


The media files are hosted on a separate server.

This is for a non-profit school and I need to get the downloads working as quick as possible.

Thanks for your help.

What version of Joomla are you using? We are aware of a problem using 1.5.7 and are working on a solution but it is in process. We are not sure why the download stopped working.

A workaround is to not show the download icon and instruct students to right click and Save Target As for the file.

Also - be sure to put in a filesize in bytes for each media file, as well as a duration. The download class uses this information when constructing the download header for the browser.

Hi there,

Any news on next release? I'm still only able to either have a download OR be able to play the file on the site. I want to be able to both play and download the file.

Thanks for your reply.

Still working on it - sorry. A possible step right now - make sure these commands are in your php.ini file:

allow_url_fopen = On;
allow_url_include = On;

I'm working on a way to use curl as an option but have been super busy so haven't had time to get this all taken care of. Pray for me!

Welkom. I am a Christian site: maranataarad.ro/index.php?option=com_bib...eslist&Itemid=28 and use Joomla 1.5.8. When you give the green arrow that is not my song or video download. Which version should I use Joomla? Thank

The problem stems from different server configurations. See some above posts for hints. This has been a particularly difficult problem for us to solve. We are still working on the issue but may not have it totally solved by Bible Study version 6.0.11.
