We have gotten a question from someone who wants to download a rather large file from our site. He seems to want to download only small portions of the file, and use resume to get the rest of it. The trouble is that he seems not get it to work. He says that getright and flashget complains about that our site does not support resume. We use ZServer 1.1b1. What can I do to make him happy? (Except setting up ftp, of course :-)) -- Jørn Helge B. Dahl Falch.net developer - http://falch.net
They can get hold of Download Accelerator from www.downloadaccelerator.com. The latest version of this supports Always Resume. This appears to download the file to its server, and the user actually downloads the file from its server, which does have resume support. This should give him the means to download the file a bit at a time without reconfiguring anything on your site. Hope this helps, David Burton ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jørn Helge B.

Hi David, I'm afraid this would not make any sense. At least I understand the targeted user dont want to download all at once. With your mentioned proxy solution at his site he does indeed load all at once. Only loading into his application would be piece by piece, which is probably not what he wants. Rather Jørn may be install something like squid cache as accelerator in front of his zope and set up long cache times for files. This would be a quick and effective fix. The other way would be to patch zserver to handle part downloads. This is not so easy... Regards Tino David Burton wrote:

So, Zserver is not capable of doing resume. That's nice to know :-) So squid might be it? Well, I'll look into it and see what will come out of it. Perhaps a ftp-server will be the best solution.
