download file size limit on asp

[Jonathan]

I can upload through asp fine and download fine, the only
problem is if I have a file on my server that is at or
above 30 meg it will say that the server reset the
connection, and won't download it. A 29 meg file works
fine

windows 2003 server with iis6

any help would be appreciated

We had a similar problem here except it was a 4mb limit. We fixed this by
changing the AspbufferingLimit with the Metabase explorer.

Hope this helps.

If the file integrated, or could it be broken into 2 parts? Or could you
use an Ftp server instead?

yeah did that and now stuck at 30 meg, oh well installed
apache server and put files in the root dir and worked
fine, fixed both of my problems, not being able to
download exe files and fixed that with a asp script, and
then had the problem with the file being to big, so
apache fixed my headaches. IIS6 is way to finiky

EXE files can be downloaded as-is on IIS6 -- I have no idea why you needed
to fix that with an ASP Script. You just had to make sure that you didn't
configure IIS6 to try and execute a file with an EXE extension (Execution
Permissions of a virtual directory).

As for allowing large downloads of ASP -- that is just bad web page design.
The reason a 4MB limit was put in was to prevent run-away ASPs from
buffering output and draining the server's resources. Web pages sending 4MB
shouldn't be buffering, anyway... should be directly streaming for maximum
performance.
