Hello,
I have coded a webinterface to a (Debian) pbuilder (i386, amd64, m68k,
powerpc, sparc, mips, hppa, ia64 and arm) which can check and backport
Debian sources.
Now I have some trouble, because some people have tried to let php5
download source tarballs of 30-400 MByte... This let my system smoking!
How are you presenting the download?
fpassthru for example reads the whole lot into memory and then spits it out.
Using a loop like this:
while(!feof($fp)) {
echo fread($fp, $x);
}
will only read $x bytes and dump them.
Not that I have no bandwidth (SONET, Dual STM-4) or performance issues
(32 CPU's 650MHz, 64 GB memory) but I want to ask you about security
issues downloading such big files...
Same as with small files I assume ;)
Is it better, to span a shell with wget?
You can't push content to me - I have to come and get it.
