I am repeatedly getting this error lately when trying to download styles (add-ons seem to be okay, preumably because of their smaller file size).

I'm on dial-up, which is bad enough. Now I can't get the download to complete.

Suggestions?

Might be the connection times out with your connection speed. Does this mainly happen with large attachments?

Is there an attachment you can link to that gives the error all the time?

Yes. Smaller attachments complete. With larger attachments, it gets to perhaps 150-250 kb and quits.

Yes. Two or three styles in particular for 3.6.8. One is called "Smooth Red". The odd thing is that in the past I've been able to download styles up to about 1 MB from here. This just started happening in the past week or so.

It might help if you could post the link to such an attachment.

Anyway i can't look at this until monday. Please bump this thread on tuesday if i forgot (likely

).

Any other users that are on Dial-up have this problem? (Brad???)

This is the latest. I have tried it several times. The download is slow to start, gets to maybe 150-250 kb and gives me the "can't download the file - connection was reset" error:

Smooth Red Style

I have the problem on most sites that use a script to serve a file. The solution for low-band users is making sure their browser supports resume.

For example in firefox if the download times out simply refresh the (blank) page (attachment.php) and firefox will resume the download from where it left off.

I like to use GetRight but that doesn't work for scripted downloads.

But the thing is I used to be able to download larger files from vb.org until about a week or teo ago, and I can still download similar sized files from other sites. The only place I'm having a problem is here at vb.org.

I can not do anything until monday about this, so please be patient.

Thank you.

I have spoken with the person who maintain our server today, and it is not very likely that the configuration of our servers is causing this.

Most likely your connection is not stable enough for the time needed to download the attachment.
