Currently, users can download mps files from my website PROVIDED the files are relatively small. With large files (4 mega), the files do not download. I undestand that large files must be downloaded in blocks. How does one do this??

My current code reads as follows:

<%

Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

strWav = "/media/"&Request.Form("code1")&Request.Form("code2")&Request.Form("code3")&".mp3"

strFilename = server.MapPath(strWav)

if request.form("code1") = "" OR len(request.form("code1")) <5 OR request.form("code2") = "" OR len(request.form("code2")) <4 OR request.form("code3") = "ER" Then

response.write "<b><p align = center> <font color=" & "#FF0000" & ">Please enter all required fields. Be sure to enter the correct number of digits.</b></font>"

else

If filesys.FileExists(strFilename) Then

strFilename = server.MapPath(strWav)

Response.Buffer = True

Response.Clear

Set s = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

s.Open

s.Type = 1

Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Set f = fso.GetFile(strFilename)

intFilelength = f.size

s.LoadFromFile(strFilename)

Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & f.name

Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", intFilelength

Response.Charset = "UTF-8"

Response.ContentType = "application/octet-stream"

Response.BinaryWrite s.Read

Response.Flush

s.Close

Set s = Nothing

Else

response.write "<b><p align = center><font color=" & "#FF0000" & ">Sorry, your file is not yet prepared or else you entered the wrong name and number codes.</b></font>"

End If

End If

%>

I always use these 2 functions:-

Sub ForceDownload(strFilePath)

	Set oFS = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
	Set oFile = oFS.GetFile(strFilePath)
	StrFileSize = oFile.Size
	Set oFile = Nothing
	Set oFS = Nothing

	Const adTypeBinary = 1

	Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")
	objStream.Open
	objStream.Type = adTypeBinary
	objStream.LoadFromFile strFilePath

	strFileType = lcase(Right(strFilePath, 4))
    
	' Feel Free to Add Your Own Content-Types Here
    Select Case strFileType
        Case ".asf"
            ContentType = "video/x-ms-asf"
        Case ".avi"
            ContentType = "video/avi"
        Case ".doc"
            ContentType = "application/msword"
        Case ".zip"
            ContentType = "application/zip"
        Case ".xls"
            ContentType = "application/vnd.ms-excel"
        Case ".gif"
            ContentType = "image/gif"
        Case ".jpg", "jpeg"
            ContentType = "image/jpeg"
        Case ".wav"
            ContentType = "audio/wav"
        Case ".mp3"
            ContentType = "audio/mpeg3"
        Case ".mpg", "mpeg"
            ContentType = "video/mpeg"
        Case ".rtf"
            ContentType = "application/rtf"
	Case ".htm", "html"
            ContentType = "text/html"
	Case ".asp"
            ContentType = "text/asp"
	Case ".pdf"
	    ContentType = "application/pdf"
        Case Else
            'Handle All Other Files
            ContentType = "application/octet-stream"
    End Select
	
	
	Response.AddHeader "Content-Disposition", "attachment; filename=" & StripFileName(StrFilePath)
	Response.AddHeader "Content-Length", strFileSize
	' In a Perfect World, Your Client would also have UTF-8 as the default 
	' In Their Browser
	Response.Charset = "UTF-8"
	Response.ContentType = ContentType
	
	Response.BinaryWrite objStream.Read
	Response.Flush

	objStream.Close
	Set objStream = Nothing
End Sub

function StripFileName(ByVal asPath)
    	if asPath = "" Then Exit function
    	asPath = Replace(asPath, "/", "\")
    	if InStr(asPath, "\") = 0 Then Exit function
    	if Right(asPath, 1) = "\" Then Exit function
    	
    	StripFileName = Right(asPath, Len(asPath) - InStrRev(asPath, "\"))
End function

Hope they help you.
