Download Complete (false)

[kiepie]

Hi

Have a 2.4 mb rar file in my gmail account. When I download it, it starts perfect but after 10,15,20% it goes to "download completed".

And of course the file it's downloaded then, every time it's a different size.

1) Tried SAIX and IS international account
2) the link/file is not brokken, did download is completly a few weeks ago

What kind of error is this?

rar file is not complete,not compressed 100%.
view the file with any compress agent ,like winrar or winzip.

Okay now after 45 min and serveral attempts it downloaded completly.

All file 100%, rar file 100%.

Connection is 100% Get max speed.

Why did it give so many "false" completed downloads?

Just a small suggestion. Try and forward it to a non gmail account.

Could well be your download manager

I seem to get that a lot in firefox. Sometimes the only solution is using a separate download manager

If the remote (sending) server prematurely closes the connection, the client program has to assume the download is complete - this is normal HTTP. Unless, as in a good download manager, it is keeping track of the initially reported file size so that it can resume if the remote server is a bit crappy and drops you early ( anyone for IIS? ).
