topic Large File Downloads in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/large-file-downloads/m-p/243158#M196288 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>I'm new to Alfresco and am currently having a problem with large file downloads with Alfresco 3.2 Community Edition. I have a 25 MB PDF file which I uploaded into the repository using Alfresco Explorer; however, I'm having some problems downloading the file from a remote website. Remote in the sense of separate web application on the same physical Tomcat 6 server.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I've created a web page that displays the list of files in a certain space inside the repository.&nbsp; Each file is linked to the content web service like so: </SPAN><PRE class="language-none line-numbers"><CODE><A href="http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/b0129b64-788d-4b2c-941a-3493a1f9e3e7/MY_LARGE_FILE.pdf?&amp;alf_ticket=TICKET_f6fdbf90de6e834a4d9344a1d27401a68a89c350" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service/api/node/content/workspace/SpacesStore/b0129b64-788d-4b2c-941a-3493a1f9e3e7/MY_LARGE_FILE.pdf?&amp;alf_ticket=TICKET_f6fdbf90de6e834a4d9344a1d27401a68a89c350</A><SPAN class="line-numbers-rows"><SPAN>‍</SPAN></SPAN></CODE></PRE><SPAN>.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>The file downloads fine when using IE7 or Chrome except that you can't see any of the file until the whole thing has downloaded.&nbsp; However, in Firefox 3.x the file gets corrupted every time.&nbsp; I actually have the same problem in Firefox when grabbing the file from Alfresco Explorer.&nbsp; Even if you right click and save as, the file will be corrupt on the local computer when using Firefox.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I'm not having any problems with smaller files in the 3 - 5 MB range.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>1.&nbsp; Anybody have any idea what the deal is with Firefox?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>2. Is there a way to incrementally load the PDF, like if you were pulling it down from a direct link, instead of waiting for the entire file to download before the client can view it?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>3.&nbsp; Should I be writing my own action class to interact with an Alfresco web service instead of using the ReSTful content web service to grab the file?</SPAN><BR /><SPAN>4. Is there something I need to configure in Alfresco?</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Sorry for all the questions, but I really need to find&nbsp; solution to this problem if I'm going to use Alfresco as a solution.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Thanks</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Sat, 25 Jul 2009 02:29:56 GMT mjwood10 2009-07-25T02:29:56Z Large File Downloads https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/large-file-downloads/m-p/243158#M196288 I'm new to Alfresco and am currently having a problem with large file downloads with Alfresco 3.2 Community Edition.
